This California bungalow in Balgowlah was transformed into a light-filled, contemporary family home. Working in close collaboration with the architect, we designed a modern extension and reconfigured the existing layout to better suit the needs of a young family of four. Expansive steel-framed doors connect the new open-plan living space to the outdoors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The interior palette of whites, greens, soft neutrals, and touches of black brings a calm yet dynamic energy to the home.
