Renovation Projects

We develop renovation projects that rethink and reimagine existing spaces to improve functionality, enhance aesthetics, and create a seamless connection between the different spaces in your home.

Each renovation project aims to address the shortcomings of the current design to improve the layout and flow and capitalise on missed opportunities.

Throughout, we layer each renovation with a renewed sense of modernity and functionality without disrupting the original structure.

The Ironbark Ethos

Trends come and go - we strive to create connections between the landscape and each home, for timeless and thoughtful design. With years of experience designing homes throughout Sydney and the Northern Beaches, our work is set apart by an intentional approach to sustainable architecture.

  • Reducing our environmental impact and footprint doesn’t mean sacrificing on comfort or liveability.

    Through smart design practices, our Clontarf architecture team can transform each space – small or large – into an immersive design experience.

  • Clontarf is teeming with natural beauty and historic significance. As architects, we aim to create spaces that complement their natural environment and setting.

    Beyond sustainability, we aim to create spaces that create a clear, consistent connection with the spaces that we occupy so that, over time, we come to love and care for them as we should

  • Our approach is both detailed and technically oriented. A fusion of design and function that begins from your initial consultation and concept phase, right the way through to the construction phase.

    Our architects ask the right questions to ensure we’re always on the front foot.

Built on trust

“As we live offshore on the Northern Beaches, our project had its own particular challenges to renovating and rebuilding. Chris has been worth his weight in gold, being flexible about stepping in midway through the planning stage and bringing his expertise and practical ideas and solutions to guide us through the areas we needed support on.

We have particularly appreciated his experience and local contacts on the Northern Beaches. He responds quickly to questions and takes the time to explain his thoughts and recommendations. We initially engaged him for one aspect of our project and have now extended the brief as his involvement has been invaluable - very glad to have found Ironbark Architecture.”
