This project restores clarity to a gracious heritage home that had been compromised by earlier mock-heritage interventions which obscured the original form and disrupted its connection to the garden.

Work began with a careful restoration of the front portion of the house, including the reinstatement of a wraparound verandah with decorative cast-iron lacework. Inside, the existing formal rooms were preserved and refurbished in a traditional style by Maree Howley, maintaining their character and sense of scale.
