ABOUT THE PROJECT
Staple Design was engaged to redesign the office and study within a Claremont home originally built in 1900.
As a room used every day, the study needed to feel practical, comfortable and highly functional, while still respecting the character of the existing home. The brief was to create a sleek, modern space that provided generous desk space and storage, without feeling disconnected from the home’s original details.
The design response focused on creating a simple and resolved study with custom cabinetry, thoughtful storage and a strong connection to the adjoining rooms. Existing elements such as the jarrah floors and high ceilings helped guide the interior direction, ensuring the new study felt contemporary but still in keeping with the home.
DESIGN DETAILS
Custom cabinetry was central to the design, providing a generous working surface, integrated storage and a clean, streamlined finish.
The study was designed to feel calm and uncluttered, with practical storage concealed within the joinery and detailing carefully considered throughout. The contrast between old and new gives the room its character, allowing the modern cabinetry to sit comfortably within the proportions and materiality of the original home.
The result is a functional and elegant home study that feels refined, practical and carefully integrated into the broader residence.
KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENT
Staple Design recently renovated the room in the house where we spend a large part of our time… our office/study. We have an old home built in 1900 and it was important to have a sleek modern look which was also in keeping with the rest of the house. Rachael did an excellent job in advising how to bring in features from the next room, and also to blend with the jarrah floors and very high ceilings. Her attention to detail was outstanding, even advising us to order the door and drawer knobs from a supplier in the U.S! Rachael was always reliable and prompt for meetings as were the excellent tradespeople she use.
