Before & After: Transforming a Mt Tamborine Home into a Refined Family Retreat

Perched high on the mountain with sweeping views of the hinterland, this Mt Tamborine renovation brings together heritage charm and elevated interiors. Collaborating closely with architect Lindsay Colwill, the project focused on retaining the existing character of the home while reimagining the interior experience for modern family life.

The Vision

The original home, while structurally sound, lacked the warmth and functionality desired by the homeowners. Our goal was to enhance the existing architecture, introducing refined finishes and thoughtful spatial planning to create a home that feels both timeless and tailored.

Our Approach

1. Preserving Character, Enhancing Functionality

Lindsay's architectural expertise guided the reconfiguration of the home's layout, introducing improved flow and natural light while respecting the original bones of the building. Her thoughtful planning ensured each space served a distinct function without losing the home’s authentic charm.

3. Curated Comfort

Every room was considered for both aesthetics and usability. The walk-in wardrobe, for instance, combines practical storage solutions with luxurious finishes, turning a utilitarian space into a daily indulgence. Similarly, the bathrooms were transformed into serene sanctuaries, featuring tactile materials and elegant fixtures.

The Result

The Mt Tamborine residence now stands as a testament to thoughtful design and collaboration. It's a home that honors its heritage while embracing modern living—a space where every detail contributes to a cohesive and inviting environment.
