Yowie Bay

The Boathouse, located in Yowie Bay in Sydney’s south was a dream project and one that I had always wanted to do! Owned by long term clients of ours, this Heritage listed boat house had sat there with bucket loads of potential for many years. With a view and location that cannot be beaten and the most beautiful bones to work with, this project was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. When my clients asked me to help them complete the renovation, naturally, I jumped at it! Set against all of the original sandstone, we were able to completely gut and renovate the interior which included a new bathroom, kitchen, living and dining area. Over time, you see projects that talk about combining the old with the new and this project was just that. The clean and contemporary joinery and furniture we used contrasted so beautifully against the warm and textured sandstone and gave the space a much needed lift in lightness. The built in banquet seating for the dining area enabled us to maximise our floor space by allowing our dining area to hug the perimeter of the room and although the kitchen is compact, it has everything a fully functioning kitchen needs. By far one of my most memorable projects to date!
