Some renovations are more complicated than they look — this Double Bay penthouse is a good example.
The brief meant a full strip-out: every wall and ceiling removed and reconfigured, with the original timber floors kept, sanded and re-stained. Curved openings carry through the kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces in micro cement — a finish that takes real precision to get right.
Access was the trickiest part. With only one crane lift available for the kitchen island and other oversized pieces, everything else had to come up through the building itself — all while keeping the neighbours happy throughout.
The result speaks for itself, and we're proud it came together on time and on budget, working alongside a great team of clients, architects and designers.
