How is everyone's Tuesday going? 😊⁠
⁠
We were lucky enough to collaborate with @spacefurniture when it came to furnishing this project, coming up with a jewel tone scheme which drew out the rich tone and texture of the structural elements of the home and sat perfectly on the new polished concrete flooring 👌⁠
⁠
Softening the atmosphere of the stone basement through colour, texture and lighting was critical and the bold key pieces such as the ‘On the Rocks’ sofa from @edra.offical (bit of an ironic pair if we don’t say so ourselves!), @cassinaoffical Taliesin Armchair and the @foscarinilamps by @palombaserafini certainly did just that! 🤤

Friday night lead to some super exciting news for us! 🥂⁠⠀

⁠⠀
The 'Small Bathroom' category for QLD was awarded to the fun little powder room, and the 'Large Bathroom / Master Suite' award went to the beautiful resort inspired master suite - both in our Varsity Lakes Residence!!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So proud of this stunning project, and of all the other lovely finalists! Each year always brings so much new talent to the table. Excited for all the state and national winners announced this coming Friday⁠⠀
Stay tuned! 🙏

Who has seen our latest project reveal?! ⁠
⁠
One of our favourite kitchens to date (feel like we are always saying this, but there is just something about new project photographs!!) 🤤⁠
⁠
Our Red Hill Residence shows off a huge transformation, from a small dated kitchen closed down into the corner of the home to a generous statement space boasting a gorgeous palette of materials and details 🙌⁠
⁠
Check out our latest IGTV to hear Darren and the lead Designer, Kari discuss the ideas behind this project and the stunning final product.⁠
OR have a read of our new blog to see all the before and after photos! 😏⁠

Could a bathroom be anymore inviting?! 🌿⁠ ⁠

Could a bathroom be anymore inviting?! 🌿⁠
⁠
A super fresh and timeless space, equipped with ample amounts of natural light and gorgeous finishes palette. ⁠
⁠
The existing main bathroom in this Varsity Lakes home was particularly obsolete with a heavy build in bath and dated tap wear and finishes. ⁠
⁠
Linking the material selections from the rest of the design through to the bathroom was important in creating cohesion between the spaces. Whilst injecting a unique touch of character through various curved elements and varying feature tiles to give it it's own identity in the home! 🙏⁠

It's the start of a fresh new week ☀️⁠

Sometimes all it takes is a Monday to get your goals into gear!! After a lovely weekend, nothing beats the motivation that comes with a new week 👏⁠

In our eyes a new week means new opportunities, and with a heap of new projects in the works it couldn't be any more necessary! ⁠
⁠
Bring on our Monday team meeting to get the team setting some serious goals! 🌟

Now this wouldn’t be a bad place to spend this sunny weekend! ☀️ A balcony space that makes you feel like your at the beach without even touching the sand! Would definitely be our go to isolation location if need be. But fingers very crossed it doesn’t gets to that here again in Queensland 🙏🏼 Happy Saturday guys 💛

This week has certainly been a busy (but exciting) one, and one that we have officially named the week of awards! 🏆 From finalist announcements to international judging panels, it certainly has been a week full of all things awards! And our latest blog just went live where you can read all about it! Giving you an insight into some of this weeks highlights... On another note, how stunning is the herringbone detailing that was designed for the tall black japan joinery in our Ascot kitchen?! Contrasted beautiful by the brass internal shelving and inlay to highlight the timber 🤤
(another contender for one of this years KBDI awards!)

Well and truly back in the swing of the school morning routine! 😅⁠
⁠
How's everyone else feeling with the kids now back to school? With 3 kids, at 3 different schools we had a huge 5 weeks of school holidays all up....⁠
⁠
Wishing our kid's rooms looked as great as the ones we recently designed for the Broadbeach Apartment project!⁠

Might be showing this photograph to the kids as a new morning bed making expectation! 🙏⁠
