Mosman 04
Contemporary Sophistication
2025
Perched in one of Mosman’s most desirable pockets, this timeless Federation home is undergoing a complete transformation—one that honours its architectural heritage while reimagining it for a contemporary, low-maintenance lifestyle.
The design direction called for a home that balances classic charm with modern sophistication. The aim was to enhance natural light, simplify the existing layout, increase functionality, and create calm, uncluttered spaces that support a relaxed way of living. Key considerations included streamlined storage, improved indoor–outdoor flow, and thoughtful upgrades across the kitchen, bathrooms, studies, and outdoor entertaining areas.
A serene, minimalist palette was desired—light, bright and calming—elevated with subtle touches of warmth, timeless detailing, and refined materiality. While the home needed to feel luxurious and inviting, it also had to be practical, secure, and easily maintained.
Studio Belle’s approach gently weaves contemporary sophistication into the property’s Federation character. Classic elements are retained and honoured, while new architectural gestures introduce functionality and flow.
Open-plan living spaces are designed to feel effortless and welcoming, complemented by newly widened glass doors that connect the interior to the balcony and garden beyond. A renewed kitchen layout prioritises generous bench space, hidden storage, integrated appliances, and a hardworking butler’s pantry that keeps the main space beautifully free of clutter.
Across every level, bathrooms will be refreshed with bright, modern finishes and subtle nods to the home’s heritage architecture.
Dedicated study spaces bring flexibility and calm to the upper and lower levels—thoughtfully designed for work, reading, or retreat, complete with custom joinery, soft natural light, and carefully restored original features.
The exterior is set to evolve into a refined entertaining sanctuary. A new pool, covered terrace, outdoor cooking zone and curated lounging spaces allow for year-round enjoyment. The design also explores opportunities beneath the existing deck to introduce a private wellness zone. At the front, classic garden elements and upgraded seating areas enhance the home’s charming street presence.
