Dulux Colour Awards - Single Residential Exterior Finalist Dulux Colour Awards - Single Residential Interior Finalist Kirsten Johnstone Architecture has completely transformed this elegant Victorian era residence. The front façade utilises a refined palette of tonal greys with crisp white trims, helping deepen visual interest and impact - a mindful avoidance of an all-white approach - to celebrate the rich and detailed features of the heritage home. A moody front sitting room enveloped in deep hues mimics traditional characteristics, whilst controlled juxtapositions between light and darker finishes are portrayed deeper in the home. Slim textural Japanese tiles abut local Victorian bluestone and charcoal tones, awash with natural light from floor to ceiling glazing and thoughtful placement of soaring clerestory windows in the open living spaces. This new rear addition is linked by a cleverly located courtyard used to delineate the heritage dwelling against the new extension. Photography: Tatjana Plitt

“We engaged Kirsten of Kirsten Johnstone Architecture following a recommendation from a builder and friend, for a large renovation just over 2 years ago. From the first site meeting I had complete confidence in Kirsten and her ability to understand what we were after. I wasn't wrong!! Not only has Kirsten designed an amazing house, she has now turned it into a home with some incredible styling. Kirsten listened to what we were after and didn't push her own vision onto us. The project has only recently finished following 2 years of constant works and Kirsten was there right the way through the process. The home we have, is now an amazing mix of what we wanted and Kirsten's many design ideas. The family love each and every space created and we know that the home will be well used for many years to come. I will definitely be using Kirsten for the next project, whether its a home to live in or a weekend getaway.”
