Corndale

Corndale, NSW · Cottage renovation · November 2025

The brief

A character cottage thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while respecting its original charm. The renovation introduced custom joinery, concrete benchtops, premium Brodware fixtures, new flooring and carefully selected finishes throughout. The completed home feels simple, functional and beautifully resolved, proving that even modest renovations can have a lasting impact when every detail is considered.
