Waterview Residence:
In this timeless family villa, the colour blue unites the old and the new.
Waterview Residence was designed to meet the future needs of a growing family while maintaining a sense of adult sophistication. Frequent use of the client's favourite colour – blue – was a timeless way to add character to this contemporary home.
"Kate’s input took our project from a standard renovation to an amazing family home we love. She provided insights and suggestions that elevated the new rooms without feeling out of character with the existing spaces."
— Emma + Jack, Waterview Residents
We helped this client… connect old with new:
For Places & Graces, this project started once the renovation plans had been established, and our client was starting the daunting process of detailed design decisions. We began by establishing a creative vision and a spatial plan incorporating all the beautiful things the family owned. Then we developed the new areas, focusing on the kitchen and ensuite, colours, and carpet – followed by finishing touches – lighting, linens and art placement.
