Brunswick Parlour transforms a Victorian cottage into a hard-working, personalised home for a family of four. Our clients loved the character of their Brunswick terrace home, but not its inefficient floor plan and poor year-round thermal control. They didn't need more space, they just needed their space to work harder. The front bedrooms remain largely untouched, retaining their Victorian features and only introducing new cabinetry. Meanwhile, the main bedroom’s previously pokey en suite and wardrobe have been expanded, adorned with custom cabinetry and illuminated via a generous skylight. At the rear of the house, we reimagined the floor plan to establish shared spaces suited to the family’s lifestyle. Flanked by the dining and living rooms, the kitchen has been reoriented into a more efficient layout and features custom cabinetry that uses every available inch. In the dining room, the Swiss Army Knife of utility cabinets unfolds to reveal a laundry, more custom cabinetry, and a craft station with a retractable desk. Beautiful materiality throughout infuses the home with warmth and personality, featuring Blackbutt timber flooring and cabinetry, and selective pops of green and pink tones. The house now works hard in a thermal sense too. Insulation and glazing were updated to best practice standard, and we’ve introduced several temperature control tools. Hydronic heating installed throughout the house is complemented by an evaporative cooling system and operable skylight. The result is a lush, tactile home that increases the effectiveness of every existing inch to enhance daily life for our clients, proving that good design doesn’t need to add space to add value.

Verona Classic 36" Gas Double Oven Range feature a sleek plinth leg, matching colored control panel, exquisite beveled front doors plus robust stainless handles and handrail. The elegantly shaped controls add a unique look, and ergonomic feel that is certain to become a trademark of fine cooking – with the choice of either stainless steel or matching controls.

Positioning the shower controls on the 1/2 wall as one walks into the shower, prevents the user from getting wet when they manage the shower controls. The 1/2 wall provided space to add a niche for storing messy toiletries. The bench shown on the right, becomes part of the steps leading to the soaking tub

Here are some photos of some neat double hung shutters we recently put in a San Antonio home. This style is one of the ways you can have the flexibility and control of opening half the shutters and keeping the rest closed for privacy. They say shutters are the perfect compliment to any decor, and they look great in this brightly decorated home. Love it! Thanks for sharing these photos Mary. Great work!
