Moving swiftly and sensitively, the design team at Tom Mark Henry completed the renovation of this now unrecognisable Bronte home in just nine months – a conservative amount of time given a property of this size. As they had only viewed the house twice before their clients settled, their proposed scheme was approved on the basis of hand-drawn sketch boards only. “Normally we would do more drawings, but they said yes straight away,” says Tom Mark Henry design manager Carla Matias, who worked on the project alongside interior designer Jed Murphy and director Cushla McFadden. “It really set the tone for a relationship built on trust which meant that we could commence work soon after handover.” The only downside? “It was a painful goodbye. We loved working on this house and when the project ended it meant we couldn’t come as often!”
