Picture Perfect, St Ives

Sometimes, a renovation project is less about total reinvention and more about preserving a specific aesthetic or emotion. These St Ives-based clients had fallen in love with their suburb’s unique character and wanted to keep that with their home, while also gaining vital space for living and entertaining.

Along with a new deck and laundry, we converted the existing kitchen into an open plan one by combining it with a new family and dining room, making space for a staircase leading up to an added upper level. On this second story, we built our clients a master bedroom (complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite), another bedroom,and an entertaining area, topping it all off with a brand new roof.
