Harcourt House
New Farm . Brisbane

A calm, considered renovation in the heart of New Farm. Harcourt House is a warm minimalist sanctuary designed for one independent woman seeking comfort, quiet, and beauty. Bespoke joinery, layered textures, and subtle luxury transform this inner city home into a deeply personal retreat, just a short stroll from the buzz of James Street.

Stewart House
Lennox Head

Currently in the design phase is this relaxed coastal renovation in Lennox Head. This home balances everyday comfort with refined materiality: travertine, timber, soft coastal tones. A new pool and courtyard entry reframe the home’s connection to site and lifestyle, just minutes from the beach. Calm, understated, and grounded in place.

Eppalong House by
The Gap. Queensland

A once tired kitchen has been transformed into a light filled centrepiece. Tall ceilings and clerestory windows draw in the sky, while grey cabinetry and parquetry flooring bring sophistication and warmth. The renovation modernised the space without losing its sense of character, creating a functional, elegant heart of the home.
