Lammermuir House | Progress Report 🤍

There’s plenty happening behind the scenes at Lammermuir House as the structure continues to take shape.

New steel beam structures are now in place, allowing the three floors to be opened up for the new internal lift. It’s a major part of the reconfiguration and one that requires careful planning between our design and construction teams.

The rooms are also starting to become easier to read, with important plumbing works now installed for the new bathrooms.

It’s always exciting to see a project move through these structural stages and start to reveal the spaces that have been carefully planned from the beginning.

Yanko Street | Storage Solutions 🤍

Looking back at our Yanko Street renovation, where clever storage was a must for this busy family.

From everyday essentials to those things you’d rather keep tucked away, our integrated design and build team worked closely with the clients to create bespoke joinery tailored to the way they live.

Every home is different, and we love finding smart, considered solutions that make everyday life work a little better.

Planning a renovation? Get in touch — we’d love to help bring your vision to life.

Ocean House | Master Bedroom

The owners approached us wanting to breathe new life into their grand semi-detached Victorian terrace. The upstairs layout needed to evolve to better suit the clients new stage of life. The middle bedroom was revisioned as a master ensuite and walk-in robe, leaving the bedroom full of light and space. Soft, classical palette, plush textures, and bespoke joinery create a calm, elegant retreat. 🤍

JDA Collective Offices | Entry Details

The entry sets the tone for the workplace, so our interiors team considered every element of the arrival experience.

Material and lighting selections were carefully brought together with a textured French wash wall finish, crazy paving underfoot and bronze wall-light detailing. A timber handrail with metal detailing adds another layer of warmth while complementing the industrial character of the building.

It’s these considered details that help create an office that feels welcoming from the moment you walk through the door — part of our integrated design and build approach across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and Sutherland Shire.

Underwood Terrace | Project Commencement

Such a pretty street, with so many different types of Paddington terraces.

Our design team is getting started on the renovation of one of the early terraces along Underwood Street, dating back to the 1890s. We’re particularly drawn to its cantilevered balcony — a distinctive feature of Sydney’s terrace architecture.

The street itself has a long history, forming part of James Underwood’s estate before being subdivided in 1839.

We’re looking forward to carefully restoring, redesigning and adding a new chapter to this much-loved Paddington terrace.

Regent Terrace | Demolition! 🛠️

Renovation is officially GO at this lovely wide Paddington terrace!

It’s amazing what a difference a week on site can make. Demolition is well underway, opening up the house and creating the space needed for a thoughtful replan and the addition of a new internal lift.

With the old layers stripped back, we’re starting to see the home’s potential and prepare each space for its next chapter. New materials have also started arriving on site, so the transformation is already beginning to take shape.

Follow along as our design and build team brings this Paddington home to life. ➡️ ➡️ ➡️

Bellevue Hill House | Powder Room

A quiet moment of calm within a busy family home.

Thoughtful planning of the ground floor allowed us to introduce a new powder room, conveniently positioned just off the main living and kitchen areas.

The finishes were carefully selected to feel elegant while standing up to everyday family life. Limestone flooring, a natural stone basin and handmade tiles bring warmth.

Our favourite detail? The decorative wall lights. A small but considered addition that elevates the room and adds a beautiful layer of character.

It’s these thoughtful details that help make a home feel truly bespoke.

JDA Collective Offices | Interior Detail

t’s often the smaller details that make a space feel like home.

With an integrated design and build approach, we were able to consider everything from the overall planning through to details like the kitchen shelving and display areas. Designed to feel relaxed and welcoming, the generous kitchen and breakout space sits at the heart of the office, giving the JDA team a place to gather, entertain and host menu demonstrations and tastings for their hotel venues.

Industrial character, warm interiors and a workplace designed around people.

Edgecliff Apartment | Walk Through

We’re nearly ready to get started on site, with our pre-build walk-through happening shortly.

With views across Double Bay to the harbour, this project is about unlocking the apartment’s full potential while respecting its Art Deco character.

The existing floor plan is being reworked to create a more liveable, intuitive home, with the kitchen moving to a more central position and the bathrooms being refreshed.

The new interiors will bring together warm wool carpet, beautiful lighting, bronze and brass details, onyx stone and bespoke joinery — including a full-length dark timber shelving unit in the living room, designed to feel more like a piece of furniture than storage.

A thoughtful update, with plenty of character. 🤎
