An exercise in balancing function with creativity, the renovation of this colonial home in Richmond, VIC, was all about honouring the past while boldly stepping into the new. Built around 1850, the three-bedroom residence had undeniable charm, but it desperately needed an overhaul. “The house was in very poor condition,” the owner explains, referring to sloping floors, a 1990s renovation, dated wet areas, heating and cooling problems, and a lack of storage. "The design process was intuitive,” says Kylie of Cantilever Interiors, the project's interior designer. “It evolved. The clients were lovely and very engaged, but also let me have space and just ‘do’. When there’s that deep trust, better things come out of it.” |
