japan/scandi interior renovation. longueville, sydney. new south wales

This classic habourside prewar home had an underutilised lower ground floor level that the clients wanted revamped to be a guest suite with a utilites room for laundry and storage.

Inspired by their Japanese style entry garden I proposed sliding shoji screens to provide privacy when in use by guests and slid back at other times.

The space under stairs can often be a dark and dusty hole, so to provide visual interest I proposed a raked rock garden to the space to contiue the subtle Japanese style.
