Transformations

The same room, before and after.

Well-built condominiums and landed houses from the 1990s and 2000s are our most common brief: good bones, dated finishes and plans. Drag the handle to compare the same room from the same camera position. Walls, windows, openings and the view outside stay where they are. Within them we re-plan what can be re-planned, keep what is built in, and finish to a far higher standard.

Condominium master bathroom

Bathroom remodel · 6 weeks

Every wall, the window and the door stay put; concrete is left alone. Bookmatched dark-veined marble on walls and floor, the vanity remade in the same stone on the same wall with two integrated basins and a full-width backlit mirror, a sculptural freestanding bath in the old tub's corner, the shower rebuilt in its position in frameless smoked glass, brushed bronze and concealed linear lighting.

Landed house kitchen

Kitchen remodel · 8 weeks

Garden door, side window and the gas point stay where they are. The hob is kept in place with a modern five-burner gas top and a slim bronze-and-glass canopy hood. Smoked walnut cabinetry with bronze channel pulls, a bookmatched marble worktop and splashback, a longer island ending in a breakfast bar, and the two blank walls beside the garden door put to work as lit, fluted-glass display cabinets for glassware and cutlery.

Condominium living & dining

Living remodel · 10 weeks

The left wall stays solid, the balcony doors stay where they are, and the enclosed dining alcove keeps its footprint. The solid wall becomes a fluted smoked-oak joinery wall with a marble insert, concealed television and linear fireplace; honed limestone floor; a curved sofa on a large rug; in the alcove, new table, chairs, chandelier and sheers. Outside, the balcony gets a timber deck, planters and a new ceiling light.

Landed house master bedroom

Master bedroom & ensuite · 7 weeks

Windows, walls and the garden view exactly as found; bed and wardrobes on their original walls. The wardrobe run is rebuilt in fluted walnut with bronze inlays and a lit toe recess, and the ensuite door is concealed within it as a flush walnut panel. A floating bed with a warm LED glow beneath, a channel-tufted velvet headboard wall with bronze reading lights, a recessed ceiling raft with bright daytime and warm night settings, a low skirting light for the night, layered sheers and blackout.
