This Sydney renovation began with a phone call between best friends — and a sense of potential too good to ignore. The existing home featured exterior arches, a north-facing yard and a layout that, while dark and maze-like, offered a solid foundation for transformation.
The design journey evolved through Covid disruptions, a collaborative team that brought the vision to life. With internal planning by Lowi Interiors and full materials and styling direction by Studio Haus Co., the home was reimagined from the inside out. Walls were opened, the kitchen relocated, and generous living zones established — all with warmth and scale in mind. The dining room, once an overlooked space, became a standout moment of drama and texture.
Every detail was considered — from the perfect dining chairs (found after a year of searching) to the carefully balanced palette of brushed metal, raw stone, and soft natural textures. The result is a soulful, serene family home. For both quiet moments and joyful gatherings.
The owners of this property have now sold the property turnkey for a record sale price for a non-waterfront home in Burraneer.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
Studio Haus transformed our home through a full Mediterranean coastal renovation, and we couldn’t be happier. This is the second time I have used Studio Haus, and once again they exceeded every expectation. Ky’s design direction, paired with Dakota’s styling and material selections, created an effortless flow and truly high end finish. The entire team made the whole process stress free and took care of every detail with professionalism and creativity. The end result feels luxurious and timeless. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend Studio Haus to anyone looking for exceptional design.
