Concord Residence — WIP

A home shaped by light, landscape and everyday life

Design development is complete at our Concord residence, with detailed documentation now underway and construction beginning on site.

This project is about more than updating rooms. It is about reshaping how the home works for the family who live there: how they cook, gather, work, retreat and move through the day.

The design is warm, grounded and deliberately layered. Natural timber, expressive stone, textured tiles, soft bronze tones and concealed lighting create a home that feels refined without becoming formal. Curved forms soften the architecture, while the garden becomes a constant backdrop to daily life.

At the centre is a kitchen designed to work hard and bring people together. The sculptural stone island is generous enough for preparation, quick meals, entertaining and the inevitable conversations that happen around it. Behind it, the working kitchen provides a more practical zone for cooking, washing and storage, allowing the social side of the room to remain relaxed and uncluttered.

Rather than one large open space, the kitchen, dining, living and outdoor entertaining areas are layered together. Each has its own purpose, but they remain connected through material, light and views to planting. Large glazed openings bring the landscape close, making the garden feel like part of the interior rather than something viewed from a distance.

The private areas continue the same approach. The master suite is being developed as a calmer retreat, with soft finishes, filtered light, integrated storage and a bathroom designed around everyday wellness. Curved tiled walls, natural stone, concealed lighting and a freestanding bath create a sequence of spaces that feel restorative rather than simply functional.

There is also careful attention to the harder-working rooms: the office, storage areas, wardrobe spaces and joinery that quietly hold the practical parts of life. These are often the elements that make a home feel calm long after the renovation is complete.

With construction now underway, the next stage is about carrying the design through the detailed decisions that make the difference on site. Renovation is never completely fixed; conditions reveal themselves, dimensions are checked and challenges emerge. The goal is to respond to those moments without losing sight of the original intention.

Concord is still a work in progress, but the foundations are now in place for a home that feels warm, functional and deeply connected to the people who will live in it.
