Project Overview
This Newtown renovation respected the terrace's Victorian bones while introducing contemporary comfort. The owners loved original details and wanted a kitchen that felt 120 years old yet worked for modern life.
The Challenge
Preserving the home's historic character while upgrading plumbing, electrics, and ergonomics to twenty-first-century standards.
Our Solution
Custom solid timber doors with discreet soft-close mechanisms inside, heritage brass tapware, and classic subway tiles in a herringbone pattern honored the past while hidden modern conveniences served the present.
