KITCHEN -DINER

‘I chose timber pieces to bring warmth to the space as the floors are polished concrete,’ says Caitlin. ‘It creates a nice balance.’

THE OWNERS

Interior designer Caitlin Parker-Brown, who designed the house and shares it with her husband, Tim, a commodities trader, their toddler, Archer, and baby son, August.

THE PROPERTY

An early-20th-century Federation-style semi in Sydney, Australia. The couple extended the original single-story building and it now has two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, and open-plan kitchen-diner on the ground floor, with an additional bedroom, shower room and study nook on the newly created first floor.
