Harbourside Residence
Set on Cremorne Point in Sydney and located within a Heritage Conservation Area, this home dates back to 1922, with later additions made in the mid-1940s. Over time, the interior had become dark and compartmentalised, retaining post-war elements such as heavy panelling, disconnected rooms and outdated amenities.
The brief was to reorient the home toward its harbour outlook and north-east aspect, creating a contemporary residential interior that feels open, functional and quietly sophisticated. Light, connection and ease of movement became central to the redesign.
Working closely with Corben Architects, the interiors were reimagined in a way that respects the home’s architectural origins while introducing a richer, more layered palette of finishes and furnishings. The result is a refined transformation that brings clarity and warmth to the interior, restoring a sense of elegance and liveability to the home.
