Coburg Frieze is a purified design that questions what’s really needed. The interwar property was transformed into a long-term family home that celebrates lifestyle and connection to the owners’ much-loved garden. Prioritising quality over quantity, the crafted extension adds just 25sqm of meticulously considered space to our clients’ home, honouring Dieter Rams’ enduring philosophy of “less, but better”. We reprogrammed the original floorplan to marry each room with its best functional match – allowing an enhanced flow of the home, while liberating budget for the extension’s shared spaces. Though modestly proportioned, the new communal areas are smoothly functional, rich in materiality, and tailored to our clients’ passions. Shielding the house’s rear from harsh western sun, a covered deck creates a protected threshold space to encourage outdoor play and interaction with the garden. This charming home is big on the little things; creating considered spaces that have a positive effect on daily life.

The simple vision to open up this old home in Weston to add an extra bedroom, ensuite, and garage, has resulted in a superb extension, and entire house renovation. The home was extended out to the side, to include two new bedrooms, an ensuite and walk-in robe, built over a new double garage, whilst the internal remodeling saw the complete opening up of the kitchen, dining and living areas. The living area flows onto a new deck and pergola that overlooks stuning gardens, including a fire-pit and semi-round, stone clad seating area. Designed and built with the clients love of entertaining in mind, the house also features a custom built wine cellar with bold, double glazed, black doors off the dining area, as well as a built-in gas fireplace, and a beautiful, open kitchen, with a large, uninterrupted island bench. The build was structurally complex, with the added challenge of unseasonal rain adding to the already large amount of excavation required to achieve the lower-level garage. Throughout the build, New Spaces worked closely with architect Zok Designs and engineers to maximise the structural integrity of the extension and the existing home, and provide the owners with additional garage storage. New Spaces worked closely with the owners throughout the build to accomodate a large number of design and finish changes, as well as scope changes, to ensure that we delivered a polished, turn-key house that our clients are now so proud to call their home.

We featured the stunning marble by creating an extra deep vanity top and selecting brushed brass tapware and light fitting. The warm walnut timber tones bring warmth and harmony.

Originally built in the mid to late 70s, the Kenwood House bathroom carried all the signature elements of its time: high raked ceilings, pine lining boards, a corner spa bath, and a sliding door shower. While nostalgic, the space was ripe for a modern makeover. The client approached us seeking a spectacular yet grounded design, with an emphasis on earthy tones and natural materials. Her wishlist included a larger vanity and a walk-in shower to bring both style and functionality to the space.

The owners of this stunning Mosman Park home decided the only way was up when it came to their dream home, opting to add a modular second storey rather than buying an existing home or starting from scratch.

Situated along the coastal foreshore of Inverloch surf beach, this 7.4 star energy efficient home represents a lifestyle change for our clients. ‘’The Nest’’, derived from its nestled-among-the-trees feel, is a peaceful dwelling integrated into the beautiful surrounding landscape. Inspired by the quintessential Australian landscape, we used rustic tones of natural wood, grey brickwork and deep eucalyptus in the external palette to create a symbiotic relationship between the built form and nature. The Nest is a home designed to be multi purpose and to facilitate the expansion and contraction of a family household. It integrates users with the external environment both visually and physically, to create a space fully embracive of nature.
