“Originally a 1940s weatherboard cottage, a major renovation by Kate Vernon Architects has created a happy and social home where the door is always open to friends and family. The perfectly considered interiors are oriented to embrace the lush backyard complete with an oversized brick fireplace, cedar spa, and secret garden.”

“Penny and Shane’s forever home achieves all this and more, following a major renovation designed by Kate Vernon Architects. With skylights throughout the home, and warm minimalist interiors, the house is a relaxed, versatile space that’s constantly flooded with natural light.”

“The house reflects the fun Argentinian-Australian family who live there, with a thoughtful balance between public and private spaces. New living areas step down across the site to connect with the garden and create delightful new indoor-outdoor connections. The house is open, generous, playful, expressive and above all, welcoming.”

“Storrm says working with Kate was a joy. "She was able to guide the process and incorporate all the things that we talked about but, equally, put her architectural knowledge and design into it and make it all come together. "This was one of the first projects Kate took on after starting her own firm, says Storrm. "It was really lovely to be on that journey with her, too.””
