Trinity was privileged to work with our clients to renovate their 1930s, two-storey brick family home, elevated beneath a canopy of mature native trees. Sayes Jackson Architects was engaged to reconfigure the ground-floor layout, creating a multi-use room to accommodate a study, kids’ playroom and guest room, alongside a new bathroom and laundry. Upstairs, the master bedroom was reworked to include a new ensuite and generous walk-in wardrobe.
As well as accommodating a family of five, the home needed to cater to our clients’ love of entertaining, from intimate dinners to larger gatherings. They also embraced colour, and the brief was to create spaces that would ‘delight and surprise’ their guests, while still feeling warm, comfortable and connected to the character of the original home.
The interiors were developed to balance the home’s traditional architecture with a more contemporary and expressive aesthetic. Rich colour, layered textures and carefully selected finishes bring personality to each space, while bespoke cabinetry and furniture provide both function and visual interest. Existing architectural details were retained and celebrated, ensuring the renovation felt considered rather than overly polished or disconnected from the home’s history.
The result is a home that feels both deeply personal and highly functiona, a characterful family residence where colour, pattern and texture sit comfortably alongside the original brick architecture and leafy setting. The spaces are designed to be lived in and enjoyed, with a sense of warmth, individuality and a little unexpected delight at every turn.
