Reviving a historic c1884 residence in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, we embraced the clients' meticulous vision for their dream home. Armed with a treasure trove of inspiration and a detailed creative brief, the design reflects elegance without pretense—organic, textured, and beautifully eclectic. With thoughtful renovations to enhance flow and spaciousness, this project marries refined style with a welcoming atmosphere, making it a true sanctuary for modern living

“No corner or surface is unembellished, from the powder room that fairly glows with its French capiz shell and raffia wallpaper and antique tole Chinoiserie cabinet that was found in New York and converted into a vanity to the de Gournay ‘Fishes’ wallpaper in the master suite vestibule customised with a pair of swimming turtles that had significance for the owners. ”

“Balancing old and new, Sydney Residence honours its Victorian-era origins, adopting a layered approach to interweave traditional detailing with more modern elements. Thomas Hamel & Associates and Tzannes ensure the transformation of a generous home into an enriched celebration of everyday living”
