Double Bay elegance

The approach to the Thornton residence by Arnoldlane was ‘diagnostic’ involving assessing the ills of the previous renovation to an early 1900’s dwelling situated in Double Bay NSW. The client wanted a contemporary space to live in whilst respecting the era of the original home. Arnoldlane opened the space from front to back to address the lack of light and the compartmentalisation of the existing...

Killara 1930’s renovation

The renovation of a 1930’s freestanding home in Killara NSW was for the old and new to sit in harmony with each other rather than create a dramatic contrast. The existing formal areas of the home were tweaked whist still retaining the classic feel and proportions of the original home which I just love. The open plan area was separated into meals, circulation, lounging and...

“Drake … In Full Bloom”

What is not easy is to make it appear balanced and harmonious. Nature can do it, as can Jamie Drake of Drake Design Associates. Of course, Nature has had forever to perfect it, however for...

Relationships of old and new …

The heritage restrictions on this heritage listed Federation home forced careful consideration of the redesign of the rear facade and its appearance from the street. The large-scale renovation by the talented studio of Iredale Pedersen Hook is brave and bold with clear defined spaces of past and new. The demure facade gives very little away about the dynamic space within. Employing materials of copper, waxed...
