experience within our team
This substantial whole-home renovation was undertaken by a member of the team behind Common Spaces, transforming the property across the kitchen, bathroom, living spaces, bedrooms and circulation areas.
The project demonstrates the renovation and value-add experience that sits within our wider team today — from seeing the potential in an existing property to coordinating the work and creating a more considered, contemporary home.

experience behind common spaces
Good renovation is about more than updating individual rooms. It's about understanding how a property works as a whole — where investment will have the greatest impact, what should be retained, what needs to change and how each decision works with the next.
This project is a good example of that approach: practical decisions, considered finishes and improvements designed around the way the home is used.
