Recent Projects

Here's some of my recent work across the Central Coast — alterations and additions, new builds, and character home renovations from Umina Beach to Woy Woy, Matcham to Kincumber.

Every project is different, but they all have one thing in common: homes designed around how families actually live.

Contemporary Coastal Home Interior Design

Modern family living without the compromise Sophisticated finishes meet practical design in this interior fitout where every space works hard but looks effortless. Concrete patchwork tiling, warm timber, and clean lines create interiors that are both magazine-worthy and genuinely livable.

Waterfront Cottage Transformation

Alteration & Addition | Central Coast

A second-storey addition to a waterfront cottage on a flood-affected narrow block. The site had three existing dwellings that felt disconnected.

We elevated the living spaces to capture water views and meet flood planning levels. A new carport and covered breezeway unify all three buildings with consistent white weatherboard and rooflines.

The result: a cohesive waterfront property with protected outdoor spaces, generous windows for views and light, and dry access in all weather.

Coastal Contemporary Family Home

New Build | Central Coast

A two-storey family home designed for a growing family wanting open, light-filled spaces and strong indoor-outdoor connection.

Clean lines, generous glazing, and a mix of weatherboard and contemporary cladding. The layout prioritises family living — open plan kitchen and living opening to the pool area, with private spaces upstairs.

Simple, functional, and built for Central Coast coastal living.

The White House

Cottage Renovation | Central Coast

A tired weatherboard cottage that needed more space without losing its character. The challenge was an immovable shed blocking the natural entry sequence and a dark, cramped interior.

We added a spacious living addition that opens to the garden, reworked the entry to create a proper arrival sequence, and used clever design to disguise the shed as part of the overall composition.

The result: a cottage that feels light-filled and spacious while keeping its weatherboard charm. New timber decking extends the living spaces outdoors, and the whole home now flows from front to back.

This is what good cottage renovation looks like — keeping the bones, solving the problems, adding light and space.

Modern Update — Contemporary Transformation

Alteration & Addition | Central Coast

A dated home transformed with a complete interior refresh. Walls removed to create open-plan living, soft sage green kitchen cabinetry, light timber floors throughout.

The result: a bright, contemporary space that works for modern family living. Simple, clean, functional.

Modern Brick & Timber Extension

Alteration & Addition | Central Coast

A 1980s single-storey brick home that needed better light, flow, and outdoor connection. We added a contemporary extension with a new master suite and expanded open-plan living that opens directly to the pool terrace.

The extension balances practicality with clean, modern lines. Generous glazing, indoor-outdoor flow, and a warm family home that works.

New Entertaining Area

Alteration & Addition with Pool | Central Coast

An open gable addition that transforms the rear of the home into a resort-style entertaining zone. Kitchen servery window for seamless poolside entertaining, soaring roofline for drama and cooling breezes.

This is Central Coast outdoor living at its best — protected all-weather space, pool integration, and natural materials that complement the existing home.

Mid-Century Revival | Sloping Site

Alteration & Addition | Central Coast

A classic mid-century home on a steep, narrow block. The challenge: update it without losing its character.

Terraced additions that step with the site, new outdoor living spaces, and subtle modernisation that honours the original architecture while delivering contemporary comfort.

This is what good mid-century renovation looks like — respecting the bones, working with the slope, keeping what makes it special.
