A sensitive renewal of a 1970s bushland home, honouring its modernist character.

Set within the bushland of Terrey Hills, Cedar House is a considered renovation of a 1970s modernist home. Cadence & Co brought together architecture, interiors and construction to renew its spaces while preserving the warmth, character and connection to landscape that defined the original design.

The approach was one of careful refinement. The open-plan living arrangement was retained, with the original stone fireplace continuing to anchor the living and dining areas. Refined timber joinery transformed the kitchen, while flagstone flooring and an extended cedar-lined ceiling create continuity between the interiors and terrace.

Drawing on the home’s Bush Modernist heritage, the renovation brings old and new into balance through natural materials and a stronger relationship with the garden. The result is a home that feels familiar yet renewed, ready to support its owners for the years ahead.

“Cadence & Co provided invaluable guidance from concept to completion of our heritage renovation. The team of architects, designers, builders, trades and staff worked with us to realise our vision of modernising our home whilst remaining sympathetic to its history. Numerous plan iterations were proposed and refined, necessitating significant structural works and resulting in a transformative layout conducive to contemporary family living. Design elements were commissioned and thoughtfully selected, inspired by the building’s unique blend of architectural styles to achieve a cohesive outcome. Specialist trades with the requisite skills were diligently sourced and overseen by Cadence, which enabled period features to be both meticulously restored and significantly enhanced by bespoke joinery, fixtures and fittings. Cadence matched our attention to detail and worked methodically with us through various unanticipated challenges during the build until resolution. The quality of workmanship, materials and finishes are truly exceptional - we are appreciative of our collaboration with Cadence in creating our beautiful home.”
