Sherbourne house

This charming federation home built in 1903 on Sydney's north shore provided a special opportunity to honour the heritage elements of the house while creating a warm family home that met the needs of a growing family. The unique grounds and space afforded a design that elevated and reimagined unique heritage features. The reuse of fixtures that always had a home in this space served as inspiration for the redesign and the restrained addition of modern touches allowed for a feeling of warmth and elegance in the space.
