A contemporary renovation of a 1970s waterfront home, blending refined textures and sculptural forms with seamless indoor-outdoor living, designed for effortless entertaining and family comfort.

A warm, inviting waterfront interior design for a family home

Offering an alternative to cliched coastal style, our Burraneer Bay project proves that moodier tones and cultivated textures do have a place by the sea. In this cliffside home, barefoot sophistication celebrates and enhances the easy-going Australian way of life, capturing the freshness of ocean-kissed air and sun-soaked outdoor living.

Repeat client’s of Studio aem requested a renovation that would turn a tired 1970s dwelling into a welcoming, contemporary abode that allowed for effortless entertaining and comfortable spaces for their family of four. We were engaged to provide a full-service design package for the home, taking care of interior design and decoration, from planning through to concept, documentation and sourcing furniture and fittings.

Through our interior interventions, the revised floorplan takes full advantage of the magnetic outlook, while an upper-level addition allows for convenient separation between the living and sleeping quarters. Custom-designed cabinetry, extended ceiling heights and clerestory windows form open, airy rooms that function seamlessly for busy family life.

With the finishing touch provided by our cohesive furniture and furnishing scheme, the completed interior is skillfully balanced. Refined textures, sculptural forms and a neutral palette come together to create an elevated interior that completes - and doesn’t compete with - the water views.

The spaces flow and roll effortlessly to the outdoors, creating a sea-breezy atmosphere that is beholden to the mood of the changing tides.

“Alex recently completed our bathroom design and helped us decorate and style our home in East Geelong, Victoria. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a new home build or renovation. She made the whole process seamless and stress-free from the outset, carefully considering our vision and guiding our choices towards an elegant, yet also practical, design. With her natural sense of style and ability to see the potential in any space, Alex allowed us to reimagine our bathroom and create a space we could never have achieved on our own. Her attention to detail ensured everything from the wall and floor tiles, right down to the tapware, doorknobs and feature lighting was absolutely perfect. We now have a modern, functional bathroom which blends perfectly with our heritage-listed home, and is a talking point amongst visitors. We have been so thrilled with Alex’s work that we have now engaged her to redesign our kitchen, and are looking forward to entertaining friends and family in this new space once completed.”
