Coggee House
House Renovation
Located in the heart of Coogee, NSW, this comprehensive renovation project exemplifies a thoughtful balance between architectural innovation and timeless design. The brief called for a complete reimagining of the existing residence—one that would enhance spatial flow, elevate comfort, and introduce a warm, Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic.
Central to the design strategy was the creation of a more open and connected layout, allowing natural light and coastal breezes to permeate the home. The reconfiguration of internal spaces fosters a seamless transition between living zones, encouraging both functionality and a sense of calm.
A pivotal architectural gesture was the modification of the living area ceiling, which was raised and reshaped to dramatically increase the perceived volume of the space. This intervention not only enhances the scale and verticality of the interior but also significantly improves airflow and thermal comfort, aligning with the home’s coastal setting.
The interiors are defined by a Mediterranean sensibility, expressed through a palette of natural materials, soft tones, and textured finishes that evoke warmth and timeless elegance. This design language is further elevated by the bespoke joinery, crafted with precision and care to complement the architectural vision. From custom cabinetry to finely detailed timber elements, each piece reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and an unwavering pursuit of perfection in every detail.
This project represents more than a renovation—it is a complete transformation achieved through a series of strategic yet understated design moves. Each alteration was carefully considered to disrupt convention while maintaining architectural integrity.
