Heritage Reimagined

4 BEDDER APARTMENT / THE TREVOSE

Tucked away in the verdant surrounds of Botanic Gardens, this 24-year-old apartment was given a new lease of life. The young family gravitated towards a modern colonial sensibility - timeless, layered, and quietly bold.

The living spaces are calm yet characterful, with soft neutral walls, tailored paneling, and black accents that frame the home with definition. Designed for duality, sliding doors hide the clutter while the display nooks open up to showcase a quiet alcove where music takes center stage. Timber shutters and timeless charm flow naturally through the home, creating a rhythm that feels both classic and contemporary.

In the kitchen, deep green cabinetry grounds the space, balanced by creamy shaker fronts and patterned flooring that nods to heritage details. A bar counter clad in marble and fluted panels elevates daily rituals with a touch of understated elegance.

The baths are where colonial influences come alive in a fresh new way , patterned flooring meets warm timber tones and a hand-painted basin, balanced by glossy olive tiles and brass fittings. A nod to colonial charm reimagined for today.

Throughout, a sense of balance was key: old and new, formal and casual, hidden and on display. The result is a home that doesn’t chase trends but instead embodies a quiet confidence, made to grow gracefully with its family.
