For me personally, home is where the heart is and my heart is in the sands and the waters of Long Reef. It's in the dramatic sunrises and sunsets, the waves and the misadventures, the southerlies and the nor'easters alike. It's in the flocks of Corellas, in the over sized sharks, and swells that are never the same. It's in the people that I live with, a community connected by the salt water, by love and spirit. It's in the smiles of the long and short friendships. Collaroy is not just a postcode, it's a way of life, a place of immense beauty - both natural and human. It's a place to call home.”

Our client's brief was simple; full glamour and lush detail for this heritage listed Victorian villa. Deep tones, contrasting patterns and rich textures carry the spaces.
Although this space is newly built it evokes interiors that resonate for their sense of light and comfort The client's interest in antique and heirloom pieces is captured in the mix.
The owners of this 1930's apartment in a significant building by Leslie Wilkinson sought a sense of tradition and provenance not normally found in contemporary buildings. All surfaces and detailing are new but evoke the era. The client's extensive collection of antiques and modern art fit seamlessly.
This duplex apartment was reconfigured in the early 2000's from two smaller apartments. The very different footprints were reconciled via extensive use of mirror and layered screen walls that reflect light and city views into adjacent spaces. Deep tones and bolection mouldings evoke more traditional apartments throughout the area.
