9. Scenic route

Located on the mezzanine level,overhanging the living area, the study is linked to the family areas by the two-storey void. “I can’t wait to get up there and work. You get this gorgeous view of the trees at Shenton Park Lake, so it feels like a treehouse,” says Kazia. “The view was deliberate,” adds Sam. “I grew up in this area and the park holds special memories, so I wanted to be visually connected to it.”

Tip: Make the most of panoramic windows to draw the outside in and link a home to its environment.

10. Toy story Elijah and Tobias have inherited colourful hand-me downs, including an old Tonka truck, and items from Kazia and Sam’s own childhoods – the teddy bears and yellow raincoat were once Kazia’s. Bright Normann Copenhagen ‘Bau’ pendant lights hang in both boys’ rooms.

Tip: Fill a kid’s room with meaningful objects for a dose of personality. In Tobias’s room, Kazia made the artworks.


11. Alley cats Sam has paid homage to the 1920s worker’s cottage, leaving the brick facade as a remnant. “It’s a well-built piece of the urban fabric and I didn’t want to destroy or impose myself on it,” he says.

Tip: Soften the border from street to home with plants.
