(1892) Cathedral Street Victorian Italianate

The Narrative

Set within one of Sydney’s oldest neighbourhoods, our studio is a daily reminder of why we are drawn to heritage homes; the stories they hold, the craftsmanship they embody, and the opportunity they present for thoughtful renewal. Tucked within a historic streetscape of Woolloomooloo, we occupy a character-filled terrace at 94 Cathedral Street. Originally built in the late nineteenth century, the building forms part of a neighbourhood shaped by generations of craftspeople, merchants, and city life.

Today, it serves as our design home dedicated to the thoughtful restoration and reinvention of period and heritage properties throughout Sydney and Australia. As a luxury interior design studio with a particular expertise in heritage home renovations, we believe the most successful homes are those that honour their architectural origins while supporting the way their owners live today.

The studio itself reflects the philosophy that underpins our work by honouring the character of older buildings while creating spaces that support contemporary living. Surrounded by a curated library of materials, artworks and design references gathered from around the world, it is here that we collaborate with clients, craftspeople and consultants to shape homes that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
