A paving day on site by PATH Design Studio.
Set in front of a beautifully preserved 1950s cream brick home, this project balances heritage character with a refined contemporary update. A new modern garage addition sits comfortably beside the original house — a thoughtful extension that respects the past while introducing clean, modern lines.
At the entry, reclaimed bricks are being laid to form a curved pathway, bringing warmth, texture and a subtle sense of history to the space. The bricks run with the curve of the path, framed by perpendicular edging that keeps the layout crisp and defined.
This project is brought to life by Mick — a highly experienced paver I first met around six years ago, when he completed a complex bluestone repair for us in Balwyn North. We’ve been working together ever since. His craftsmanship has always stood out, with a level of understanding and precision rarely seen in younger installers.
Beside the pathway, the driveway has been completed in bushed and highlighted concrete, laid in a square pattern. Its soft texture and tonal variation create a calm, contemporary contrast to the traditional brick paving.
Each brick is carefully cut on site to follow the curve precisely — and with Mick on the tools, the result speaks for itself. A fantastic job delivered with true craftsmanship.
