DETAILS CAN ELEVATE A HOME

For this Burradoo cottage, the design intent was established long before construction began. Custom timber-panelled doors made by , exposed rafters, and the seamless continuation of limestone from outdoors to indoors all work together to create a home that feels connected to its surroundings. The large picture window above the kitchen bench frames the garden and brings natural light deep into the space.

Thoughtful planning makes all the difference, and we're happy to guide you every step of the way.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Keeping an existing bathroom layout is one of the smartest ways to maximise your renovation budget.

For this Burradoo bathroom, the plumbing remained in the same location, while new tiles, fixtures, fittings and paint gave the space a total refresh.

COUNTRY COTTAGE

Some homes don't need reinventing. In this Burradoo cottage, the character was already there. Our role was to enhance and restore what made it special, from the original panelled walls and ceilings to the timber windows, floorboards and fireplace. A new brick hearth adds a focal point within the space.

ALL YEAR ROUND

From covered verandahs that provide an outdoor space in every season, to fire pit areas that extend the use of your backyard long after the sun goes down, we build outdoor spaces designed for the way families live and entertain.

These additions create more usable space, more connection to the garden, and more opportunities to enjoy life outdoors in the Southern Highlands.

SHARED LIVING

Little Burradoo Cottage was designed and built as a secondary dwelling to welcome family and friends visiting from Sydney. Situated close to the main residence, the cottage was carefully crafted to complement the property's established heritage-country character while maintaining its own sense of identity.

The design draws on meaningful chapters of our clients' lives. The circular bedroom windows pay tribute to the years spent working in Nantucket and the Hamptons, while the gabled rooflines and raked ceilings reflect memories of time spent in England's Cotswolds. A true blend of classic architectural influences with the warmth and charm of its Southern Highlands setting.

COTTAGE KITCHEN

The charm of this 1930s Burradoo cottage was always worth preserving.

In the kitchen, we retained and celebrated the original features, repurposing an existing brick niche to house the freestanding oven and repurposing a timber and glass wall cabinet for glassware.

A mirrored splashback was used to enhance natural light and create the feeling of a larger room, while mosaic-tiled benchtops are a nod to the home's era. Panelled cabinetry was chosen to complement the original internal doors, creating a cohesive connection throughout the home.

WE LOVE A CHALLENGE

There’s something deeply rewarding about bringing a building back to life.

The old saddlery in Taralga needed extensive restoration. Leaning, weathered and showing the effects of time, it required careful craftsmanship to preserve its character while securing its future.

The restoration included rebuilding the original bullnose verandah, replicating and reinstating intricate timber detailing and pressed metal cladding, restoring the parapet, and carefully refurbishing the beautiful solid timber entry door.

For us, projects like this are about more than construction. They’re about honouring the history of a place, preserving the character of a town, and ensuring these buildings can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Today, the building has been given a new purpose as , a wonderful space showcasing Australian contemporary art through solo and group exhibitions.

BEFORE AND AFTER

What was once a tired, enclosed, dilapidated space has been rebuilt into a bright, functional hub for family living. By removing internal walls, we opened the room to create a more generous layout and improve the connection between spaces. A new window was installed to frame the garden outlook, draw in natural light, and capture the breeze, instantly changing the feel of the room.

Beautiful new hardwood floors were installed throughout, ready for the new kitchen fit-out.

TESTIMONIAL

“On many occasions, we consulted with Neil about other projects around our property and he was invariably gracious and helpful. Neil’s expertise, particularly with traditional finishes was obvious and he gave us solid advice that we followed. Neil’s knowledge, experience and attention to detail has resulted in an absolutely beautiful space for our family – we love it.

It was a pleasure to have Neil and his team working on our home.”
