"A sophisticated palette of linen, leather, stone, brass, iron and cane sits lightly in the spaces with earthy accents complementing collected art and ceramics,"

Belle Magazine

Glory Days

Past and present are harmoniously aligned in this significant Sydney home where grand heritage features are enhanced by a chic contemporary overlay.

The generous proportions and lavish original detailing in this 1840s house in Sydney's eastern suburbs is a reminder of times past when living was more genteel and romantic. In need of revitalising when the current owners bought it in 2018, four years later it is nothing short of a masterpiece, restored to its former grandeur while showcasing a new contemporary character.
