Paddington – Inner City Charm
PROJECTS / HERITAGE

Project Description
Working on dilapidated terraces may seem challenging and daunting, however Look Design Group enjoyed working with this husband and wife duo, to assist with the transformation of their terrace home. All terraces whether heritage or otherwise require clever spatial planning in order to maximise every available millimetre, which was key for the successful renovation of this terrace which occupied a tiny 68m2 site. Downstairs the home was reconfigured and extended out to the side party wall, to provide a new powder room and galley kitchen, complete with banquet seating and spiral cellar. Upstairs incorporates a generous shared bathroom with a separate bath and two good sized double sized bedrooms, each with nice outlooks and robe storage. The end result was both charming and practical for inner city living.
Scope of work
- Development Application to Council for approval of alterations and additions.
- Architecture & Interior Design services including:
- Joinery Design, Selection & Documentation
- Bathroom Design, Selection & Documentation
- Kitchen Design, Selection & Documentation
- Lighting & Electrical Design, Selection & Documentation
- Interior & Exterior Material & Finishes
- Construction Documentation
- Tender Documentation & Review
- On-site construction observation & design project management
