The client had relocated to Melbourne and purchased an older house, in its original condition, with the vision of transforming it into their ‘forever’ home. The brief was extensive, including both the interior and exterior of the house, relocating the kitchen, and completely transforming both front and rear gardens. As often is the case after purchasing a new home, the budget was tight! My solution was a staged renovation, over several years, meeting their immediate needs, while allowing time to save for the next stage. The​ flexibility and planning of this project resulted in the client realising their vision, without breaking the bank.
