When creating a new space there are often a few
hurdles, and this renovation was no exception. As the
townhouse shares a driveway and a common wall, Danielle
had to be mindful and considerate of the neighbours during
the renovation. Another challenge was addressing the
existing staircase that featured a stainless-steel balustrade.
“As the brief was to create an elegant and feminine
environment, we had to decide how to handle the staircase,
which ran from the basement theatre room and up three
levels to the rooftop deck,” says Danielle. “We decided to
replace the existing balustrade with a timber classic profi le
and placed frosted fi lm on the glass panels.”
Inspired by the beachside location of the townhouse, the
interior palette was infl uenced by the Hamptons, which
worked seamlessly with the client’s art pieces and existing
furniture collection. “The seaside location provided the
inspiration for a sophisticated style of interior, allowing
us to bring a more relaxed, elegant feel to the home,” says
Danielle. “Our palette was generally based around warm
greys, charcoals and fresh whites. The neutral base invited
the introduction of rusts, shades of blue and mauves.” Along
with a subtle colour palette, the materials selected ranged
from grass cloth wallpapers through to handwoven rugs,
porcelain tiles and Neolith and Caesarstone benchtops.
