The Project
One of our most celebrated renovations to date
One of our most celebrated renovations to date — a home that flawlessly blends old and new.
Designed by the team at Luke Fry Architecture and Interior Design, the brief for the Ripponlea Project was simple: retain the striking period details of the front of the home while modernising the back, which we achieved through a complete knock down rebuild of the rear of the building.
Brick, concrete, natural stone and timber are the key materials used throughout the space, but any potential harshness is rounded by the artistry of the design, allowing natural light to flood the home through clever use of skylights and internal courtyards.
The result is a home of extraordinary beauty — one that has been celebrated by both the architectural community and lifestyle press alike.
