A contemporary transformation of a Victorian terrace in Surry Hills, blending original features with modern aesthetics through restored interiors and a refreshed façade.

Revelling in a box-seat position for a quintessential Surry Hills way of life, this elegant Victorian terrace was in need of a major face lift. The interiors were dated and the building itself was showing its age. The client wanted to transform this tired terrace into a contemporary modern home that respected all of its original features.

Brief Project Description

Internally the project included the restoration of the original timber floors/ceilings & walls. A new LED lighting layout was incorporated throughout. Feature pendant lights by designer Marcel Wanders were installed in the main living & dining rooms. A contemporary colour scheme was chosen to highlight the original features, creating a light and spacious aesthetic.

Externally the existing balcony & railing was carefully restored and a contrasting colour scheme of grey and white applied, to modernise the façade of the building.

“Brian came with a recommendation from our neighbour who was renovating at the same time, and from our first meeting we really felt we were in safe hands. Brian managed our expectations very well from the outset, and we relied heavily on his guidance to navigate the complex rules when renovating within Sydney city council area, both as part of a strata complex and within a heritage area. Brian challenged our thinking when it came to the design, and I’m so glad he did!! The window he added in the en-suite, which I was very unsure about, is now my favourite feature!! Brian even went as far as designing our custom joinery for our walk-in wardrobes, as he knew the joiner wasn’t delivering on my vision. Brian went completely over and above when it came to finally getting our build approved by the project certifiers, as our builder failed on several attempts to complete the required paperwork. Brian stepped in and got it all sorted within a matter of days, when it had already taken our builder months to submit. I couldn’t recommend Brian highly enough. As well as being extremely professional he is just a lovely guy, he truly cares about his work and his clients, and it shines through in all that he does. His commitment to getting the job done means he consistently delivered well beyond what we would normally expect from any architectural service. We will absolutely be using him again the next time we build.”
