Warrandyte House | interior design Renovation
The renovation design to the existing house interior required significant alterations over two storeys with a result of additional space created to a third level. Low maintenance with an exciting aesthetic were paramount objectives in the clients brief.
Masterplanning the existing interior into functional spaces for the growing demand of family resulted in modified walls, ceiling and roof structure and mezzanine additions.
Incorporating skylights, allows natural light to fall across the forms of double height void spaces, unifying the private realm of study, recreation and sleep into spaces of calm and repose.
Client Testimonial
“We are pleased with the professional sensibility Robert provided during the entire process of design to construction for the interior renovation of our home.”
Greg & Deb | Warrandyte House
A sophisticated bathroom renovation, required specialised design detailing for mosaic tiling, wall glazing, cabinetry, stone masonry, metal work and lighting design. Pendant lighting combined with iridescent mother of pearl glass tile and custom made metal frame mirrors, play and reflect movements of light and colour.
The main staircase connects a further two levels of billiard room and ground level artist studio, entertainment room with kitchen and bathroom. Victorian Red Gum treads and risers form the timber staircase. The stair flight painted plasterboard walls is capped with a sealed and honed finished Tasmanian Oak handrail.

“Robert designed a great masterplan for our 24 acre farm property allowing for CFA access that proved pivotal during the February 2014 bush fires that ravaged our countryside. Together with siting the house close to the precipice contour we enjoyed an economical efficient construction build and have spectacular views to both ends of the south boundary river. The design of the house is zoned to make privacy and large family gatherings a real joy, as we can enjoy the perimeter balcony as outdoor dining or contemplative break away viewing of the landscape. Electricity is the only mains supply, so all water and waste harvesting and recycling occur on site. Robert’s design provides a passive solar solution that works well with the limitations of site servicing. Since we were owner builders, Robert’s documentation and site visits always proved instructive. We thoroughly recommend the full architectural and interior design service. Couldn’t be happier with our inspired chalet”
Trevor & Maryanne | Macedon Ranges House
“Robert provided us a homely contemporary design integrating the existing heritage frontage of our home. We enjoy the flexibility the design provides with transition between the late 19th century Edwardian Style house and contemporary open plan arrangement that enables seamless movement to the courtyard, wine cellar and studio. Robert successfully navigated our brief through multiple planning dispensations and VCAT to realise our dream home”
