Floreat Home

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:47:35 GMT

Designed around how the family lives today, the Floreat Home prioritizes openness, light, and connection. Strategic changes to the layout transformed both the atmosphere and functionality of the space. The kitchen now sits confidently at the heart of a home built for shared living.

The Floreat Home had reached a point where its layout no longer supported the way the family lived. Cramped living areas, limited natural light, and a weak connection to the outdoors made the home feel closed off despite its potential.

The owners were seeking a more open and connected environment, with the kitchen playing a central role in everyday life. The design focused on breaking down internal barriers, allowing spaces to flow naturally and encouraging interaction across the home.

By removing walls and introducing new glazing, light was drawn deeper into the plan, transforming both the atmosphere and functionality of the interior. The reconfigured kitchen now anchors the open living areas, operating as a true family hub rather than a separate workspace.

The renovation delivers a cohesive, light-filled home that supports connection, comfort, and long-term performance, while significantly improving the way the space is experienced day to day.

Wembley Downs Residence

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:11:39 GMT

A closed-off 1980s double-brick home was reimagined to unlock its full potential. Through considered design, the space was opened to light, flow, and modern family living, creating a cohesive home with a refined coastal feel.

The Wembley Downs Residence began as a classic 1980s double-brick home with strong bones, but a layout that felt closed off and fragmented. The owners knew they were sitting on an uncut diamond, but needed guidance through the design and delivery process to unlock its full potential.

Their goal was to transform the home into a light-filled, open-plan space suited to modern family living and entertaining. A key challenge was the number of non-structural internal walls typical of the era, which created smaller, disconnected rooms and limited natural light.

Newton Design Studio approached the renovation with a clear focus on opening up the central living areas. Strategic removal of internal walls and the introduction of large-format glazing allowed light to flood the kitchen, dining, and living zones, creating a more functional and cohesive layout.

Material selections reinforced the fresh, contemporary feel, with white marble mosaic tiles contrasted against matte black frames and tapware. The result is a transformed home where the kitchen, laundry, and downstairs bathroom now form the vibrant heart of the residence, balancing strong practical performance with a bright, coastal-inspired aesthetic.

Mosman Park Residence

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:34:38 GMT

Designed with investment performance in mind, this renovation focused on upgrades that directly impact value. Functional improvements and material clarity elevated both rental appeal and asset efficiency. The result is a property that balances immediate yield with sustainable growth.

The existing property presented opportunities to improve both functionality and market appeal. By removing the outdoor pool and fully renewing the kitchen, wet areas, and flooring, the renovation reshaped the home into a more efficient, low-maintenance asset aligned with tenant demand.

These targeted interventions delivered a significant transformation in both appearance and performance. The client’s investment was outweighed by the post-renovation valuation uplift, supported by a doubling of the rental return.

The result is a strategically upgraded property that demonstrates how quality design can directly enhance portfolio performance, balancing immediate yield with long-term value.

Functional, efficient, yet contemporary office design.

The Vietnam Airlines office at Perth International Airport was designed to balance functionality with a clear and professional customer experience, within a compact commercial tenancy.

The layout was carefully planned to accommodate both public-facing and operational needs, including a reception counter for ticketing, a dedicated guest waiting area, a meeting room, and an open workspace for staff. Supporting areas such as storage, utilities, and staff amenities were integrated to ensure the space could operate efficiently day to day.

The design focused on creating a clear flow between customer and staff zones, allowing the office to function smoothly while maintaining a sense of organisation and privacy where required.

A structured documentation approach ensured the design could be delivered in line with regulatory and approval requirements, while maintaining alignment with the intended layout and functionality of the space.

The result is a well-organised and efficient office environment that supports both customer interaction and internal operations within a defined footprint.

Nicha Thai Massage

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 08:28:28 GMT

A traditional Thai healing practice that is charming, comfortable and relaxing.

The Nicha Thai Massage project focused on creating a functional and welcoming retail environment within a compact tenancy, balancing spatial efficiency with a calm and considered customer experience.

Working within a 48 square metre footprint, the layout was carefully planned to accommodate multiple treatment areas while maintaining a clear and intuitive flow. Four consult rooms were integrated using open entries with curtain screening, allowing for both flexibility and privacy without compromising space.

The design centred on optimising key zones, including a reception area, treatment rooms, and a compact staff space with essential amenities. Circulation was thoughtfully considered to ensure ease of movement for both clients and staff, while maintaining a sense of separation between public and private areas.

Feature lighting and shopfront elements were incorporated to strengthen the visual identity of the space, while contributing to a more inviting and cohesive environment.

The result is a well-resolved fitout that maximises functionality within a limited footprint, supporting both operational efficiency and a comfortable client experience.

Lifeline WA Offices

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 08:08:54 GMT

An inspiring corporate office with fun, bold accents.

The Lifeline WA office refurbishment focused on improving both the design and day-to-day functionality of the space, without disrupting core operations.

Working within the existing layout, the project targeted shared areas where change would have the greatest impact. Breakout spaces, kitchens, and amenities were rethought to better support staff use, while creating a more cohesive and considered environment.

A full strip-out allowed the space to be rebuilt with clearer zoning, improved lighting, and durable finishes suited to a high-use workplace. New partitions and glazing helped organise the layout, balancing openness with defined work areas.

The result is a workplace that not only functions more efficiently, but feels more resolved, supporting both practical use and the overall experience of the space.

Pacific Flow Engineering Offices

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:46:34 GMT

A commercial space designed for collaboration.

The Pacific Flow Engineering office project focused on improving both the design and functionality of an existing commercial tenancy, with an emphasis on spatial efficiency and future usability.

Working from the existing layout, the project required a clear understanding of site conditions to support proposed modifications, including the introduction of a new mezzanine level. This required careful planning to ensure the space could evolve while meeting approval requirements.

The approach centred on detailed site analysis and documentation. A full site survey informed the development of accurate drawings, including demolition plans, updated layouts, and reflected ceiling plans, along with elevations to support the integration of new structural elements.

The documentation package was prepared to meet strata and council requirements, providing a clear pathway for the project to move forward with confidence.

The result is a well-resolved planning framework that supports the transformation of the tenancy, allowing the space to be developed with greater efficiency, structure, and long-term flexibility.

Salter Point Residence

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:39:27 GMT

Designed to support the clients as they age in place, the Salter Point Residence focuses on comfort, safety, and clarity. Subtle design decisions improved accessibility without visual compromise. The result is a welcoming wet area that feels contemporary, calm, and enduring.

The existing bathroom layout included a bath–shower combination, which presented an increased safety risk. Our design removed the bath and introduced a level-access, wheelchair-friendly shower and toilet, significantly improving ease of movement and day-to-day usability.

Thoughtful detailing played a key role in the success of the space. Custom cabinetry was designed to maximise storage while maintaining a clean, uncluttered feel. Carefully executed tiling allows the floor to gently fall towards a concealed strip grate, delivering a seamless finish without compromising functionality.

The result is a calm, practical, and welcoming wet area that balances accessibility with considered design, ensuring the space will continue to serve the clients safely and comfortably for years to come.

Cockburn Medical Suites

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:23:15 GMT

This paediatric clinic required a friendly, inviting and happy space for children and their parents to engage with. The use of bright, calming colors and the creation of a fun and entertaining space for children to wait was what the client was looking for in this project.

The Cockburn Medical Suites project focused on creating a well-considered healthcare environment that balances functionality with a calm and welcoming patient experience.

Working within a newly developed space, the design centred on key areas including reception, waiting zones, consult and treatment rooms, and supporting staff areas. Careful planning ensured each space could operate efficiently while maintaining a clear and comfortable flow for both patients and practitioners.

The approach combined spatial layout with detailed selection of furniture, finishes, and lighting to support both clinical requirements and overall atmosphere. Feature elements were incorporated across reception, corridors, and treatment areas to create a cohesive and professional environment.

Coordination with the builder and suppliers ensured the design intent was carried through to delivery, while maintaining alignment with budget and project requirements.

The result is a well-resolved medical suite that supports day-to-day operations while providing a considered and comfortable experience for patients and staff.

Nedlands Apartment

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:06:50 GMT

The Nedlands Apartment was purchased as a downsizing home, with a clear focus on elevating everyday spaces rather than reworking the entire layout.

Working within existing apartment constraints, the renovation prioritized precision, planning, and finish. The result is a calm, cohesive interior defined by refined detailing and timeless material choices.

As with many apartment renovations, the project came with technical constraints. Existing plumbing and hydraulic locations needed to remain largely unchanged, as chasing floors and slab penetrations can present challenges to neighbouring apartments and structural integrity. These limitations required careful planning and detailed documentation to achieve the desired outcome without unnecessary risk or cost.

Working within a tight budget, the clients were drawn to Newton Design Studio’s fixed-price contract structure and highly detailed drawings, which helped eliminate variations and price creep throughout the build. This approach provided certainty and confidence from design through to delivery.

The transformation is primarily driven by finishes and detailing. A refined palette of brushed brass and gold-select porcelain tiles flows through the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry, creating cohesion across the spaces. The new kitchen features custom cabinetry with an integrated dishwasher and a beautifully proportioned waterfall-edge benchtop, delivering a result that feels considered, elegant, and tailored to the owners’ next stage of living.

Hills Residence

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:59:49 GMT

Set within an elevated landscape, the Hills Residence was redesigned to better engage with its surroundings. Reorienting the layout and introducing expansive glazing strengthened the connection between inside and out. The result is a calm, light-filled home shaped by its setting.

The renovation focused on re-orienting the home towards the landscape. Large openings and expansive glazing were introduced to frame views and draw the outdoors into the interior, while new terraces created generous spaces for entertaining and quiet retreat.

An open-plan layout and the use of natural materials reinforced a seamless relationship between inside and out, allowing the home to sit more comfortably within its environment.

The result is a calm, well-resolved residence that embraces its setting and delivers a more connected, light-filled living experience.

Carine Thai

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:57:13 GMT

An authentic hospitality experience.

The Carine Thai Cuisine project focused on creating a functional and welcoming dining environment within a compact tenancy, balancing spatial efficiency with a comfortable and cohesive customer experience.

Working within a limited footprint, the layout was carefully planned to support both front-of-house dining and back-of-house operations, while maintaining a clear and intuitive flow throughout the space.

The design centred on optimising key areas, including customer seating, service zones, and kitchen support spaces. Circulation was considered to ensure smooth movement for both staff and guests, allowing the space to operate efficiently during peak service periods.

Lighting and shopfront elements were introduced to strengthen the presence of the restaurant within the centre, contributing to a more inviting and defined identity.

The result is a well-resolved fitout that maximises usability within the available space, supporting efficient operations while delivering a comfortable dining experience.

Mill Point Rd Apartment

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:44:33 GMT

With its outlook underutilized, this 1970s apartment called for a more responsive layout. Strategic structural interventions opened the living areas to light and view, transforming how the home is experienced. The completed renovation delivers a calm, high-performing space tailored to everyday living.

The owners’ priority was to bring the view into the heart of the home. To achieve this, concealed structural steel was introduced, allowing previously modest openings to be expanded into wide, open-plan living spaces without compromising the building’s integrity.

Commercial-grade window frames and glazing were used throughout, delivering a contemporary appearance while significantly improving energy efficiency and acoustic performance. These upgrades reshaped both the visual and functional experience of the apartment.

All wet areas were fully renewed with updated layouts, new tiling, fixtures, and fittings, completing the transformation into a cohesive, modern home that balances outlook, performance, and everyday comfort.

Manning Residence

Opening up the home’s core living areas improved flow, light, and everyday usability. The result is a brighter, more functional home designed for connection and long-term comfort.

The renovation centred on redefining how the family used the home’s core spaces. By removing internal walls, the living areas were opened up, allowing the kitchen to connect directly with the surrounding dining and living zones.

New windows and skylights were introduced to brighten previously dark areas, while updated cabinetry and finishes improved storage and usability without adding visual clutter. Energy-efficient upgrades further enhanced comfort and performance.

The completed home is brighter, more functional, and better suited to family living, with spaces that encourage connection and flow throughout the day.

Kalamunda Residence

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 07:26:22 GMT

At Kalamunda, the renovation focused on extending how the home is lived in, not just how it looks. A strong indoor–outdoor relationship reshaped the layout, improving flow, light, and everyday usability. The outcome is a calm, flexible home with long-term performance in mind.

The Kalamunda Residence presented as an ageing home whose layout and finishes no longer aligned with modern living. Disconnected rooms and underutilized areas limited flexibility and reduced the home’s overall sense of openness.

Rather than simply reworking interiors, Newton Design Studio identified the opportunity to extend the home’s liveable footprint through a strong indoor–outdoor relationship. A generous outdoor living area was integrated with the interior, creating a seamless transition that significantly enhanced day-to-day use.

Carefully selected finishes and upgraded glazing improved light, airflow, and environmental performance, while maintaining a calm and cohesive visual language throughout the home.

The result is a more adaptable residence that supports both family life and entertaining, delivering improved functionality and long-term value.

A blank canvas transformed into amazing new office spaces and a functional warehouse.

The High Wycombe office and warehouse project focused on creating a functional and cohesive workplace that supports both administrative operations and industrial use within a large-scale facility.

Working across an approximately 500 square metre footprint, the layout was designed to accommodate a mix of office spaces, meeting areas, and warehouse support zones, while allowing for future team growth. Clear planning ensured each area could operate efficiently while remaining connected as part of a unified workplace.

The design centred on key zones including reception, boardroom and meeting spaces, private offices, open workstations, and staff breakout areas. Consideration was given to how teams move between office and warehouse functions, ensuring practical flow and day-to-day usability.

Furniture, finishes, and feature elements were introduced to create a consistent and professional environment across all areas, while supporting the operational needs of a high-use workspace.

The result is a well-structured facility that balances functionality and design, supporting both business operations and a more considered workplace experience.
