Houzz is a fantastic platform for getting real design ideas from local projects.  

Looking for inspiration on period timber details?  Well, Houzz have included House of Origin's House 2067 in an article about timber fretwork, which is quite an honour as every timber item shown below was lovingly removed, restored and replaced, so as to maintain the home's original character, albeit in a vastly improved configuration.

​The timber grille featured on Houzz was originally over the hall 90° perpendicular to it's present location.  We delicately removed the timber at the beginning of the project, stored it on site, sanded it back and repositioned it so as to align with it's twin, which hangs over the entry hall.  

Not only were we able to retain the timber, character and history of the home, but we were able to use this piece to enhance the hall/dining area in a new way that perfectly married in with the other restored timbers in the entry hall.

We are really pleased to be featured in this article, so jump over and have a read here.

This weekend, we were very pleased to be featured in the Sunday Herald's Domain section of the Sydney Morning Herald.  This was a great article about the importance of discovering a good brief for both the clients and the existing property.  Well worth a read of any ageing clients considering their down-sizing opportunities.

We are so pleased to be able to announce that we have recently received an invite to a housewarming party for our first major project, House 2067.  We will be there, along with the many consultants and builders who have contributed to bringing this project to a successful completion. 

The fully renovated dual occupancy home has recently received all of the final touches, including lawn, a decent vacuum and a thorough clean, making it occupant and party-ready.

We will post some party pics shortly of what will no doubt be a happy evening of well deserved champagne and relief.
