Balmain House banner

The transformation of a compact home, built in the 1980s as a replica of an original workers cottage, was inspired by the owner's vision and appreciation of the neighbourhood. Originally dark and pokey, the renovation opened up interior spaces on plan and vertically to create a dynamic dwelling designed for relaxing and entertaining. Bold and eclectic décor, highlighted with reclaimed and custom fittings, by the owners in partnership with the builder has resulted in a truly bespoke home.
