A distinctive interior transformation

The project began with framing and boarding an existing doorway opening. Careful finishing helped integrate the new surface into the surrounding interior, including the junction with the property's original exposed stonework.

A rich blue decorative finish brings the feature wall and recessed alcoves together. The colour contrasts with the white-painted timber ceiling and complements the natural stone flooring.
