Effingham Street

Federation bungalow in Mosman into a home they could settle down in. Charming but dated, the house needed serious work to deliver the contemporary lifestyle they were after. The renovation respects the home's Federation character while introducing sophisticated interventions that reflect the family's global perspective. Original features—decorative fretwork, pressed metal ceilings, and timber floorboards—were meticulously restored in the front rooms, creating a respectful dialogue with the contemporary addition. We added a light-filled, contemporary rear addition housing an open-plan kitchen, living area and a sound-proofed study to provide family-friendly entertaining space, and a new upper-level master suite for retreat and privacy. New furnishings and finishes throughout add luxury and a sense of sophistication while allowing the clients' collected treasures to shine. The result is a harmonious blend of heritage charm and modern functionality—a home that honours both its architectural roots and the family's international journey.
