ABOUT THE PROJECT
Originally built in 1951, this Dalkeith home underwent a significant renovation to bring it back to life and preserve it for years to come.
The existing layout was carefully reconsidered to improve flow throughout the home and create a stronger connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The entry corridor was widened and realigned, the master bedroom and dining room footprints were increased, and the laundry and kitchen were repositioned to better support the way the family lives.
Custom cabinetry played an important role in the project, helping to create a more functional home for a family of five, particularly with older teenage children. Storage, joinery and planning details were carefully integrated so the home could feel both practical and beautifully resolved.
DESIGN DETAILS
The existing steel windows, fireplace, timber floors and besser blocks were all retained as important character elements within the home. These original details helped guide the final interior direction, balancing simplicity and restraint with a series of thoughtful hero moments.
The result is a warm, enduring family home that feels practical, personal and highly considered.
KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENT
Rachael was an absolute gift to us in our renovation. She combined impeccable taste with meticulous attention to detail but best of all she listened to our needs and truly cared that we were happy with her designs. This meant Rachael nailed the design brief in one go and the end result speaks for itself. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Rachael again. She’s a truly delightful person and I’ve already referred family and friends to her.
