Super White Dolomite delivers a bold statement in contrast in this contemporary kitchen renovation. The grey tones of the stunning veining infuse an alluring beauty that harmonises with both the light and dark elements effortlessly.

A classic Federation style, Queensland home overlooking Brisbane’s skyline, this home has undergone a full renovation of both the interior and exterior. The brief was to create a luxury retreat centred around lifestyle and our client’s love of the Mediterranean.

With ocean views and a relaxed lifestyle, it’s easy to see why our clients were attracted to this spacious Manly home. Having recently moved to Queensland this family knew they wanted to create a light and airy, modern farmhouse style home in their new coastal location. While the location was great, the double story home was dated and lacking in style.

Fresh white walls paired with a textured palette of finishes, form an atmosphere of spacious traditionalist. Dark herringbone parquetry floors, a bold modernist terrazzo, rich hand cut tiles and the warmth of bronze tapware add personality to the otherwise minimalist backdrop.

This classic Queenslander home in Red Hill, was a major renovation and therefore an opportunity to meet the family’s needs. With three active children, this family required a space that was as functional as it was beautiful, not forgetting the importance of it feeling inviting. The resulting home references the classic Queenslander in combination with a refined mix of modern Hampton elements.

The Queensland lifestyle was considered to be a fundamental element in the new design of this Queenslander. Having raised four children in the home, our clients turned their attention to updating their home to suit their love of the beach and outdoor lifestyle as they approach retirement.

Our clients loved a modern industrial style, and yet the colonial style home they purchased couldn’t have been further from their desired style.

The brief was to design a functional new kitchen and living area that blends a contemporary aesthetic with the existing style of the house. With school age children and busy careers, our clients needed a home that maximises functionality throughout day-to-day activities.

Initially a small renovation project, the Aspley House developed into a whole home renovation. A project home, built in the 1980s, it was feeling tired and quite dated and ended up requiring a complete overhaul.

We are thrilled that this Bella Vie Designs project won a prestigious HIA design award. The design was approached with a central idea that the client’s treasured craftsmanship and materials were retained.
