We were engaged to breathe new life in to this tired one-bedroom unit in an Erskineville heritage warehouse conversion, but this was always going to be very much a budget renovation. Clever kitchen design was key to this project, which increased storage and benchtop space without impacting the flow of the open-plan living area.

The bathroom was also given a complete redesign with new 1.8 metre bath, shower, toilet and vanity. The New Black Interiors team handled the decorating utilising a sophisticated, visually coherent scheme to create a greater sense of space throughout.

This project was turned around within an extremely tight timeline and stuck to budget. Just 12 months after completion the revitalised unit sold for an unprecedented price, smashing the suburb record for an apartment of that size.

After deciding his existing 1960s bungalow had to go, our client wanted to envision what his fantasy two-storey, five-bedroom family home would look like before bringing in the wrecking ball. Enter Design Plus Drafting and 3D rendering.

The stunning elevated location dictated that making the most of the views was paramount, as was filling living areas with natural light. Key features included a lavish entertainer’s kitchen, a large private balcony from the master bedroom, a recording studio, pool, and an overall design that would minimise shade over a neighbouring house.

Our client was delighted to see his dreams become a virtual reality in our highly detailed visualisations, created using Revit software.

The brief for this house extension and re-configuration in Marrickville was simple: create as much natural light throughout and embrace the owners’ love of colour to decorate this family home.

The project involved adding two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs while opening up the living areas downstairs. The idea was to create flow at the back of the house to an indoor/outdoor dining area, to make full use of a new barbecue area.

We were engaged to rework a classic California bungalow into a modern family home with open living areas, a large deck flowing from the rear of the house, and a new garage providing the client with a spacious workshop. Working closely with a local engineer, our job was to provide a full set of drawings including proposed additions, new floor plans plus elevations and cross sections for the Complying Development application.

Through clever design we were able to create drawings that were swiftly approved by Randwick Council and met Sydney Water’s strict regulations.

With the client’s love of food, cooking and entertaining, the centrepiece for this large family house was no doubt the kitchen, and their new home design by Design Plus Drafting had to showcase it.

The wish list was a long one for this project, including three ovens (two primarily for cooking and the third to keep plates and food warm) plenty of bench space for food prep, fridges to be hidden in the cupboards and a large island bench including seating for up to six people.

After plenty of creative to-ing and fro-ing with this design, our client was absolutely rapt with the end product.
