Pottery House

Pottery House is a contemporary new home in Caulfield South, designed for a family of four - including two young adult children - and their two beloved dogs.

The clients have a cherished collection of pottery from South Africa, along with sentimental pieces handmade by the client’s mother. These pieces are thoughtfully displayed throughout the home, adding a deeply personal touch.

NY Design was engaged during the construction phase to curate all the furniture selections, feature lighting, window treatments, and special design elements. These include a textured microcement finish on the double-sided fireplace wall, a rich and cocooning design for the cinema room, and custom joinery in the dining area featuring display shelves and a bespoke bar unit.

The result is a beautifully layered home that feels sophisticated yet warm and welcoming.

Avila House

This solid brick home in Caulfield North, built in the mid-1980s, had remained untouched until its new owners saw its potential. Home to a family of six, it needed to feel cohesive, contemporary, and cater to the needs of a busy, multi-generational household.

NY Design was engaged soon after purchase to completely reimagine the interiors. Every corner was thoughtfully redesigned — from the striking new staircase that now anchors the entry to the home, to the beautifully appointed bar and fireplace in the formal lounge, to the state-of-the-art cinema room. Bespoke joinery, natural stone finishes and custom detailing add both function and indulgence, creating a home that is elegant, welcoming and perfectly attuned to family life.

Lyrebird House

The original facade and front three rooms of this heritage-listed Art Deco home have been carefully preserved and restored, seamlessly blending with a modern extension and updates. Guided by a deep appreciation for quality design and a sizeable collection of original artworks, our clients envisioned a home filled with whimsy, colour, and pattern. Lyrebird House welcomes you with open arms - it’s a home to be enjoyed, celebrated, and loved. Every meticulous detail has been thoughtfully curated, and each space reveals unique features that delight and inspire.

Parallel House

Set on a serene, tree-lined street in Malvern, Parallel House blends historical charm with modern ease. While the original Edwardian façade remains intact, a contemporary extension and mezzanine-style first floor, added about 10 years ago, introduce refined modernity. The home’s inviting atmosphere perfectly balances relaxed comfort with understated elegance.

NY Design was engaged to reimagine the kitchen, improving storage, functionality, and connection to the home’s character. Inspired by the clients’ love of natural timber, the result is a beautifully crafted space that feels both warm and effortless.

Apex House

Located in Caulfield North, Apex House has been transformed with a striking rear extension that reimagines the original 1980s home as a contemporary family retreat. Designed for a family of five, it balances minimal, monochromatic style with expansive entertaining areas, elegant yet durable finishes, and ample storage for evolving needs. The result is a magnificent open-plan space, thoughtfully zoned for daily living and memorable gatherings alike.
