Scandi Chic Cremorne Townhouse
When our clients first walked through this 1960s Cremorne townhouse, the bones were good but the layout belonged to another era. The main bedroom sat downstairs, marooned among the living rooms, the kitchen was tucked away in a corner, and its triangular block – with streets on two of its three sides – significantly hindered privacy.
MILEHAM’s response was to redraw the floor plan entirely, opening up the opportunity of gentle living flow while introducing genuine family privacy indoors and out. Relocating the staircase was the central design solution which opened up the home, allowing light to wash through from the front entrance all the way to the new kitchen, living and dining expanse at the rear. Family bedrooms were moved upstairs, gathered off a skylit hallway with the master suite opening to its own leafy balcony. And where the block once wasted its widest corner, a walled garden and terrace – created with landscape designer Marcia Hosking – now draws the family outdoors.
The style notes read effortlessly Scandi chic: clean lines of crisp white, dark timber floors, flashes of nautical blue, and pops of contemporary colour. Living here now is easy, calm and effortless.
A Considered Mix
The interiors walk a confident line between three influences. Scandinavian restraint sets the foundation with white walls, natural light and uncluttered space. Contemporary detailing sharpens it with matte black hardware, industrial pendants and Carrara marble laid in crisp modern formats. Then, the nautical thread is handled with the lightest touch of all. Walnut whale-tail hooks in the entry, ink-blue tiles in the guest bathroom, an anchor on the door. Skylights over the stairwell, hallway and ensuite draw light into the plan, ensuring the design notes remain warm in their context.
