This four-level converted 1930's church called for a modern sophisticated interior with timeless appeal. Integral was good spatial flow, more natural light and to be more usable for a family of five. The result is a balanced, well-considered design that respects the home's heritage while giving it a contemporary lift.

The design of each room is focused on its relationship to the 3 stained glass windows, spanning 3 floors high. Surrounding the 3-level void on all levels are custom white-steel pivot windows, allowing almost un-interrupted views to the stained glass windows, and cross-ventilation and light throughout the floors.

A custom designed chandelier by Christopher Boots in the void is a stunning focal point visible throughout.

Minimalist colour and material palettes were chosen, with an emphasis on the traditional – marble, brass, aged bronze, terrazzo, ceramic tiles and polished plaster.

The base palette of white and pale grey ensures a lightness and the illusion of space throughout. Olive and white are treated as contrasting neutrals to complement the stained-glass window and exposed original timber beams.
Clever design solutions were required to create a light and sophisticated home - the use of the existing outdoor terrace, now transformed into a luxurious bathing zone sits peacefully outside the master, polished plaster surfaces and curved ceiling details distract from heavy beams that needed to remain and sophisticated custom joinery lifts the home.
