A palette of walnut, stone, and softened natural light brings warmth and permanence to the heart of Noone Street. Designed within a narrow footprint, the kitchen and dining zone balances openness with intimacy through carefully framed volumes, textured surfaces, and a restrained material selection.

Walnut joinery adds richness and depth against pale rendered walls and polished concrete flooring, creating a contemporary interpretation of traditional materiality. The stone splashback and island introduce a quiet tactility, contrasted by black fixtures and sculptural furniture pieces that ground the space with subtle definition. Every detail was considered to make the compact layout feel generous, calm, and connected to both light and landscape. .

A quiet balance between heritage charm and contemporary living. From the street, the original Edwardian frontage holds its character, detailed, familiar, and grounded in place. Step inside, and the home opens into a softer, more fluid environment where natural light, material warmth, and connection to the outdoors shape the everyday experience.

Timber joinery, stone surfaces, and soft, neutral tones layer the interiors with warmth and texture, allowing each space to feel calm yet connected. Moments of pause are woven throughout, a window seat, a fireplace, a filtered view to the garden, each adding to a sense of rhythm and ease within the home. Designed for both retreat and gathering, this is a home that evolves throughout the day, shaped by light, movement, and the way it’s lived in. .
