Hollis Road Project
2022 Revive & Renovation
Living & Kitchen
Working within a strict budget, we were engaged to create, develop and implement a design for a light-filled, inviting and fresh family living space and kitchen. On the wish list was a fireplace designed for evenings spent relaxing with their beverage of choice, or hosting friends and family.
Design choices for this project largely took inspiration from the modern bohemian style; we aimed to curate an attractive balance of texture, client personality and sensible minimalism. Our approach was guided by creating a stylish living space, doubly equipped for entertainment and those precious cosy evenings just spent relaxing. The project features a layout poised to exploit the West Australian sunshine, with a curated furnishing package that finely rounds out the area.
The Brief:
After
Observations:
Smaller, divided living areas that lacked flow and felt a bit cramped.
A space that was not ideal for entertaining or hosting guests due to limited room.
An outdated kitchen that was not optimised for entertaining or functionality.
Insufficient storage, limiting organisation options.
No designated play area for children to enjoy and explore.
A space with an undefined style and inconsistent colour palette.
Our Solutions:
Together with our client, we clearly defined the style and developed a cohesive colour palette.
Opened up the layout by strategically removing walls for improved flow.
Expanded exterior walls with new windows and doors, allowing natural light to flood the space.
Incorporated a spacious walk-in pantry and scullery for enhanced functionality and storage.
Made the fireplace the focal point of the room, tying all elements together.
Designed a fully functional new kitchen to exceed the client’s needs.
Enhanced the reclaimed living space with a tailored furnishing package.
Merged the kitchen and living areas into a seamless space ideal for entertaining.
