An original turn-of-the-century Craftsman home had lost it original charm in the kitchen and bathroom, both renovated in the 1980s. The clients desired to restore the original look, while still giving the spaces an updated feel. Both rooms were gutted and new materials, fittings and appliances were installed, creating a strong reference to the history of the home, while still moving the house into the 21st century.

The playful design solution incorporated natural palette of materials such as recycled timber, stone and weatherboard creating a blended connection between the indoor and outdoor environment. The controlled interplay of details and natural materials have developed a language reminiscent of the Currumbin Beach style and develops an aesthetic that provides a soft human scale appropriate for children. The Timber battened Entry façade creates a contemporary cubic form of which replicates consistently through the integrated hubby house playground design. Renovation of the existing house created three classrooms, staffroom and utility spaces creating a feeling of home and strong connection to the Currumbin creek through the dappled landscaped vista. Extension areas created two classrooms and administrative areas are linked by a series of breezeway covered areas which provide shelter and safe sanctuary. Joint Venture between the Childcare and Wellness Centre to the front enabled carparking and accessibility of the battle-axe site.

This couple moved from Chicago’s Wicker Park to a rural setting but wanted to maintain their modern aesthetic. Scott Dresner of Dresner Design created a modern spa oasis for the couple’s master bathroom. The second project completed by Scott in the couple’s home. On the client’s, wish list…a luxurious space to relax, a new window to replace the dated looking glass block, great storage for towels and larger items as well as smaller toiletries. Scott accomplished a variety of storage with deep vanity drawers with push hardware, medicine cabinets with storage on the entire wall, and a large linen closet. Finishes are modern with a hint of warmth created by the floating walnut vanity and trim work. LED light along the vanity and medicine cabinets create a soft ambience perfect for a relaxing bath. Floors are radiant heat, window treatment is motorized, and panel controls a speaker and LED lighting in the rain showerhead.

From the initial sketch to the planted masterpiece – this plentiful and copious yet water conscience garden makes a bold statement in the neighborhood. The layers of planting of different heights and textures create a strong visual presence and set the mood of excitement as you wind your way to the entry. The combination of tropical plants and succulents continue to promote the multi- layered visual experience .

We used light blue tones to create the cool ambiance in this transitional space. A large rectangular area rug and the media stand placed against the TV wall makes for a strong focal point. We used wall sconces to lighten the room and add a touch of class to the feature wall.

What a wonderful place for imagination to flourish. The colors and patterns create vibrancy and excitement. The boldness is matched by the fanciful accents in the birdcate light fixture, the Alice in Wonderland mirror, the light from the inside lamp and the fuzzy ottoman!

This custom Ipe fence was just right to create a buffer between the driveway and the garden. The clients were interested in growing food as well as keeping bees (bees were in the rear garden). The welded wire mesh allowed for viewing the garden from outside the fence and the strong Ipe structure was a perfect hoist for the Kiwi vines to grow on.

A large kitchen island creates additional storage, workspace, and focal point for entertaining. Light hardwood flooring with a strong wood grain combines with white subway tile and gray wall to enhance the kitchens welcoming feel.

Beautiful leathered dolomite ( marble) countertops paired with the rift cut white oak cabinets, and marble backsplash give this coastal home a rich but organic and casual style! Open shelves create a strong design statement while still offering lots of function.

An updated look for a cozy town-home located in Downtown Baltimore. A grey sectional creates a cool, flexible palette for color and pattern mixing. Traditional plaids, and strong geometrics offer great visual interest, and help bring the artwork to life on the walls.

The existing home was a builder grade residence with a strong need for renovation in order to create the custom-home feel the client aspired to achieve. To save money, we kept existing plumbing locations and reused existing cabinets. We gave them a fresh look with a new coat of paint and new countertops. Walking through the home, you experience pops of color, playful shapes, and new complexions. The remodel touched every square inch of the home and included adding a bathroom to the lower level.

This custom gourmet chef kitchen design was tailored for a foodies that grow their own food, cook on a daily basis and frequently entertain. the purpose was to create a space that serves all these functions to the best fit with a strong wow effect. after a couple of month monitoring and researching how to optimize the new kitchen for their needs, the challenges the current architecture put for us and their aesthetic preferences we came up with a design plan and the result is nothing but stunning!

From a low-angle perspective, the deck structure appears both lightweight and strong. The black stainless steel cable railing is neatly aligned, offering safety without creating a heavy visual barrier. It ensures security while preserving an open line of sight.

A strong architectural presence now defines the space, highlighted by the elegant arched ceiling and a balanced composition that brings both depth and harmony to the room.
The contrast between the deep-toned vanity and the light countertop creates a timeless foundation, while carefully selected fixtures and warm lighting add softness and sophistication. Thoughtful detailing — seen in elements like the faucet and finishes — reinforces a cohesive design that feels both premium and naturally comfortable.
