Heritage Renovation

Forest Lodge Renovation

A sensitive renovation of a heritage inner-city home — restored parquet floors, a quietly dramatic black arched fireplace, and rooms that feel as collected as they do considered.

The brief

A long-loved heritage home, ready for its next chapter. The owners wanted to bring out what was already wonderful — the parquet, the high ceilings, the patterned glass — and weave in modern services without losing the character of the rooms.

What we did

We restored the Versailles parquet, rebuilt the original fireplace with a deep black arched hearth, and reworked the dining and living rooms around the existing leadlight French doors. New services and a refreshed kitchen run in the background, doing their work quietly.

  • Restored Versailles parquet throughout
  • Rebuilt arched fireplace and mantel
  • Restored leadlight French doors and joinery
  • Refreshed kitchen with timber and tile
The house feels like itself again — only better.
