Project Carthona

Project Type Residential

The extensive makeover honours the residence’s legacy while preparing it for many more years of cherished memories.

The renovation features custom copper roofing, including solar roof tiles, which provide a striking contrast against the rendered wall finishes and intricate corbelling. Innovative tunnelling within the existing subfloor of the house, seamlessly connects the newly constructed swimming pool, wine cellar and garage to the existing residence.

A standout element is the bay window clad in zinc, cantilevered off the master bedroom to capture the harbour’s captivating northerly views. The home boasts bespoke features such as specialist wall linings, a gracefully curved staircase and handrail, and exquisite handcrafted joinery. Material selections worldwide contribute to the residence’s unique character and timeless elegance.

This project exemplifies a beautifully executed blend of historic charm and modern luxury
