"A Classic Contemporary Transformation in Drummoyne"


In the heart of Sydney’s inner west, this circa-1890s single-story house was reimagined into a sophisticated two-story residence. Once a modest two-bedroom, one-bathroom house, it now offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an ensuite, thoughtfully designed with a perfect balance of elegance, functionality and market appeal.

The renovation embraces natural light, with newly installed windows, doors, and skylights flooding the interiors with warmth and brightness. This emphasis on light creates a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere throughout the home.

At the heart of the transformation lies a stunning kitchen, an embodiment of "classic contemporary" design, a space that is both elegant and practical. Custom-made white cabinetry is paired with honed Calacatta Vagli marble, which features on the 2.8-metre island, rear benchtop, and splashback. The island serves as both a striking centrepiece and a practical workspace. Located at the rear of the house, the kitchen opens effortlessly to the back garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, creating a space that is as practical as it is beautiful.

This transformation is a testament to thoughtful design, where every detail has been curated to create a home that feels both cohesive and timeless—a space designed to stand the test of time in both form and function.

“We are thrilled with the final result and couldn't have achieved it without her meticulous attention to detail and patience. Georgia was invaluable in sourcing and selecting all of the finishes for our new home, in addition to furnishing the house in a way that perfectly complemented the architecture- in the most sophisticated way! We were so grateful for her expertise, industry contacts and guidance throughout the entire process. Thanks to Georgia, our small and narrow terrace came to life with a perfectly planned layout, a beautiful colour palette and well-chosen furniture and styling. We are thrilled with the final result and couldn't have achieved it without her meticulous attention to detail and patience. Georgia's talent, maturity and passion for design were evident in every decision she made. She understood our brief perfectly and always ordered samples to ensure they were the best fit for our home before making any decision - her efforts were always above and beyond. Her dedication and knowledge of design details were impressive and she was also very conscious of budgets and her time - we found her to be very efficient and effective for the tasks at hand. Thanks to Georgia, our home has been transformed into a stunning space that we will enjoy for a lifetime. We are so grateful for her amazing work and couldn't be happier with the end result.”
