DETAIL

This project called for a complete restoration of an 1800s Parnell villa, with a focus on preserving its original character while carefully returning the home to its former condition.

The restoration extended across the entire home, from extensive weatherboard rot repairs and a new deck and verandah roof, to the repair and restoration of the original timber joinery. The sash windows were carefully removed and restored by our team, preserving their original character while returning them to full working order. Both the interior and exterior were fully repainted, complemented by a new kitchen, laundry, and bathroom with bespoke cabinetry.

The client’s distinctive and original style is woven throughout the home, with a palette of deep, grounding greens, dark greys, and considered red accents creating spaces that feel warm, comforting, and deeply personal. Every element was approached with care and respect for the villa’s heritage - restoring what could be saved, repairing what had been lost to time, and allowing both the home’s history and the client’s individual style to shine through.

Completed: June 2026

Client Review

"We were looking to create some usable spaces in our home that had been built as alcoves and dead space. We consulted 9 House on our ideas and they jumped into action providing a quote and linking us to work with their preferred cabinetry interior designer and maker.

We can't fault the project management and professionalism of our project in-conjunction with the other trades. 9 House ensured timelines were maintained and quality of workmanship. We now have 3 amazing usable spaces to enjoy in our home.

We were really impressed with the care around our project and the great communication every step of the way - VIP experience."
