Our approach was grounded in celebrating the architectural history of this remarkable home while reimagining it for contemporary family living. Originally designed in 1925 by Bruce Dellit, with a later A-frame extension by Alan Dukes, the home carried a rich design narrative that we were careful to honour throughout the renovation.

The brief was a complete interior transformation, encompassing both the architectural interiors and the furnishing of the home. Retaining the existing shell, we looked to preserve and elevate the home’s original art deco language. New interventions, including the fireplace detailing, skirting profiles, cornices, architraves and hardware, were carefully introduced as subtle nods to the home’s heritage, creating a seamless dialogue between old and new.

A layered and deeply collected atmosphere was central to the vision for this home. In keeping with the architectural language, we curated a refined mix of art deco and mid-century furniture, sourcing antiques directly from France to bring depth, character and authenticity to the interiors.

Distinctive pieces — including a 1940s Charles Dudouyt style desk, a Guillerme et Chambron bar, vintage sheepskin armchairs and an oak daybed in the style of René Gabriel — were selected to create moments of richness and individuality throughout the home. These pieces sit comfortably within the restored architectural envelope, bringing warmth, soul and a sense of permanence to each room.
