House 03 - kirrawee, Sydney

A considered coastal home in Sydney, Sutherland Shire designed with intention, balance and ease.

For this Kirrawee project, the focus was on creating a refined yet liveable interior — one that feels calm, cohesive and quietly elevated. A soft, neutral palette is layered with natural textures and sculptural forms, bringing warmth and subtle depth to each space.

Every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure a seamless flow throughout the home, resulting in an interior that feels both elevated and effortless — a modern coastal retreat designed for everyday living.

Testimonial

We absolutely loved working with Steph! She has transformed our home into a cozy, beautiful home. We have two little kids and she took that into consideration with all design details. We were always given a wide variety of options, and more if we couldn’t decide. Highly recommend and we couldn’t be happier.

This project reflects our approach to creating considered, functional interiors grounded in a warm coastal aesthetic. Each space is thoughtfully designed to feel cohesive, refined and aligned with how it’s lived in.
