By Rezen Studio
The Peppermint Grove Bungalow is an interwar property with Tudor and Spanish mission elements on a generous lot in a riverside location. It has been extensively altered over its life with mixed results, however enough of its charm remained for the owners to want to make it work for their busy young family.
The renovation involved the untangling of the existing living areas through rationalising openings, connecting living spaces to one another and better connecting to the gardens beyond. New finishing to the floors, plus additional elements including screens, mirrors and furnishings create an overarching design language that is sophisticated, comfortable, contemporary and sympathetic to the original.
An award-winning boutique practice, Rezen is a place where ideas are nurtured, and high-quality built environments are designed. Our focus is on creating enriching environments that positively contribute to wellbeing. We believe that order and systems underpin beauty, and in creating calm and considered environments that generate, rather than reduce.
With decades of experience across commercial and residential interiors and architecture, our team brings creative energy, personalised service, experience and vision to all of our projects.
We are passionate about designing for people and believe the journey is as important as the outcome. We love getting to know our clients, spending time in conversation and holding space for design to intuitively unfold. We aim for authentic expressions of the places that exist and the people who design, build and inhabit them. Our philosophy, both in a design and operational sense, is that of integrity.
