A client asked to transform their white walled stairwell within their home. They didn’t like the lack of architectural detail or the starkness of the space.
Architectural detail was created by designing wall panels and adding architraves which created detail to the space.
The panels were lined with wallpaper and a colour scheme selected to add warmth.
The finished result is a transformation of bland to a highly decorative space with detail and colour.
On this residential project, the brief was to design a laundry that was to be practical but also stylish. The clients did not want a generic room that was nothing more than a utilitarian space.
The result is a room that uses thoughtful space planning and finishes that created something well beyond what most think of when you mention a laundry room.
Contemporary interiors are greatly misunderstood. Many believe they are white walls and austere, they can be but certainly don’t need to be.
This project was to design a contemporary space, but it had to be warm , comfortable and inviting. The finished result speaks for itself.
Nestled in the dunes on the Gold Coast overlooking the ocean, the home built in the early 1990’s was tired and outdated. Thomas & Alexander were commissioned to design and oversee the rebuilding of the interior structure. The entire interior was gutted and rebuilt using high end finishes with contemporary influences. The end result is clean lined modern spaces with luxury design in both architectural fit out and furnishings that finish the spaces within.
Who wouldn’t enjoy sitting watching the uninterrupted views to the water from this beautiful home.
A Colonial Home in an inner city suburb of Brisbane underwent a large renovation. The original house was constructed in 1907. After extensive building work that was sympathetic to the original architecture of the early 20th Century home, and incorporated modern day conveniences that are necessary for todays lifestyle. The Kitchen was a major focus of the interior design plan for project and reflected the love of cooking of the owners. A large walk in Butlers Pantry with walk in cold room, wine fridges and extensive storage was created. Double ovens side by side, large slabs of black granite, concealed fridges and freezer were integrated into the cabinet work. A central island bench is not only a place for work, but a focal point to gather. The Kitchen opens up onto open plan living and outdoor spaces that capture the City Skyline in the near distance.
Two Bathrooms and a Powder Room were beyond dated, and in serious need of being gutted and rebuilt. The design brief was to create modern functional bathrooms with quality finishes. Marble mosaic floors, white subway tiles, quality sanitary/tapware and solid timer cabinet work, were designed by Thomas & Alexander to create the finished Bathrooms/Powder Room.
A large renovation of a 1920’s Home in Inner City Brisbane that required extensive interior work first with the complete rebuilding of the interior spaces. The clients were confirmed Francophiles and requested a strong French influence when it came to decorating the interior rooms. The end result is a very comfortable home with elegant finishes that reflect the clients who live here.
This kitchen is part of a complete interior & exterior rebuild of an inner city Brisbane Townhouse project, that we were commissioned to undertake. The Kitchen is the hub of the living area on the ground floor, which opens up onto a private courtyard, Leisure Space and garden. Detailed solid timber cabinet work, with the addition of architectural detailing throughout the interior space, created a stylish yet very functional area within the overall design. The Outdoor Areas are an extension of the Interior Space, and now provide the perfect compact space to relax and entertain.
Master Bedroom designed for living in the Sub-Tropics with open plan design, opening onto a private outdoor space.
An empty space, a blank canvas to create a Family Room that was open and filled with natural light. The clients wanted comfort and within the open space to create different areas to be able to sit and read or watch television. These spaces were to be separate, yet integrated at the same time. This was created using costumed designed furniture, art work, custom designed rugs, accessories and soft furnishings. The result is a multifunctional space and one that is timeless in its design and decoration.
