The Renovation Story

Our clients wanted to bring some warmth into their space but didn't want to embark upon a fully gutted kitchen, as the existing kitchen was functional and fairly new. We swapped out the glass backsplash, stark white quartz and weightless glass light fixtures for pieces with more warmth and contrast. We removed the asymmetrical bookcase and floating hearth for a more grounded design, adding symmetry and a bespoke quality to the Living Room.

A modern bathroom vanity featuring a round, stone-like vessel sink with a matte finish, a sleek black faucet, and a beige marble-look countertop. The backsplash consists of rustic green-toned square tiles with an aged, weathered appearance. A curved mirror with a thin black frame is partially visible, reflecting a bright doorway. A decorative gray vase with dried eucalyptus adds a natural touch to the design.

Pendant lights with glass shades hang above the island, providing stylish illumination. Stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, and microwave, complement the contemporary aesthetic.
