Homes for Antique Enthusiasts

A curated collection of bespoke residences incorporating antique furnishings and reclaimed timber, evoking a sense of timelessness. These homes showcase individuality through the thoughtful use of materials and accessories that reveal the passage of time. Through innovative renovation and design strategies, the projects harmoniously blend warmth and sophistication, exemplifying residences that balance comfort with refined aesthetics.

House with Exposed Beams

Structural beams left exposed without ceiling plaster, adding strength, height, and natural timber character. Introducing exposed beam residential examples.

High-side windows newly inserted along the east and west on the second floor admit daylight throughout the day.
