A contemporary renovation of a historic home in Adelaide, Belltunga blends modern family living with preserved architectural charm, featuring a stunning kitchen, reconfigured spaces, and bespoke details throughout.
An imposing jewel in Adelaide’s leafy eastern suburbs, over the past two years Belltunga has seen a dramatic interior and exterior renovation to every inch of the property that has sensitively contemporised this grand old home.
Our clients’ goal was to preserve the historic home’s exterior, while creating a more modern footprint suited to family living. We closely partnered with the clients and architect throughout during the design phase. Our interior design team were also heavily involved throughout the project, supporting the clients with all selections, soft furnishings and furniture, bringing beautiful cohesion to the space.
The calibre of workmanship is evident to every inch of this home. A few of the standout and unique features of the project included reconfiguring the formal entrance to the home, installation of structural timber beams to enable the addition of a home office within the existing roof space, as well as framing out for a large recess in the ceiling, which houses the massive custom made plaster ceiling dome and the home’s original chandelier, which was carefully relocated.
The stunning kitchen is a major focal point within the home. Steel windows and doors with an arch detail open out to the relocated inground concrete pool & spa, and sunken outdoor living space with curated garden lighting. The outdoor space is rich with Eve limestone tiles that carry seamlessly from the kitchen, while a new three-car garage resides at the end of the paved driveway, complete with vaulted ceiling, bespoke steel braces, and suspended strip lighting.
This project is beautifully executed in every corner of the property, from the seamless flooring throughout, to the stunning joinery, and carefully curated lighting. Every detail has been carefully considered both inside and outside, with so many unique and bespoke details.
