Contar
Marielle and Tom from Contar Developments offer a breathtaking fusion of classic and contemporary design in this heritage renovation.
Where we're sitting at the moment is an extension on a 100-year-old Californian bungalow.
We've restored it, and we've kept it all in its original condition, and the extension is a little bit different, probably a little bit more contemporary.
ABI was one of the first suppliers that we chose for this house.
By the time we did this extension, you had brought out the gunmetal, and we really fell in love with that. We have a lot of black finishes, and we just thought that the brushed gunmetal would work really well as a bit of contrast.
It feels quite spacious. We've got a lot of marble and natural stone in this area, from the dining table to the kitchen bench.
And I think the favourite space for me is actually our master ensuite.
We chose brushed brass for our master ensuite. We've got a lot of marble in there, and it really kind of just brings a little bit of warmth.
I think from the street people wouldn't expect what you would see in this house.
I used to work in management consulting and did a lot of strategy work. I think moving into the building industry, it is really rewarding because you've got something that you see at the end of the day.
