Glengrove Estate
A historic Kangarilla homestead reimagined as a soulful modern retreat, where timber, stone, wallpaper and natural finishes come together to create a dramatic, enduring space.
In this carefully considered residential renovation, the interplay of light and materiality shapes spaces that feel both refined and effortlessly liveable. The kitchen becomes a study in practical luxury, with deeply detailed blue joinery—complete with dovetail joints—beautifully balanced by warm timber accents and crisp marble benchtops. A farmhouse sink and substantial marble island ground the room, while open shelving showcases curated ceramics and everyday pieces with understated, artful restraint.
Where soulful spaces meet modern functionality, this renovation weaves refined wallpaper, artisanal craftsmanship and natural materials into a narrative that respects the estate’s heritage while embracing modern living.
The bathrooms reflect the project’s commitment to sophisticated simplicity, with brass tapware and stone finishes that command attention without overwhelming the space. The ground-floor ensuite, wrapped in warm neutral tones, contrasts beautifully with the first-floor ensuite, where deep greys and rich browns set a more dramatic mood. Together, these spaces complement one another, offering an intriguing journey as you move through the home.
The reimagining of these essential living spaces speaks to a deeper understanding of modern Australian homes – where practical luxury isn’t about opulence, but rather the thoughtful integration of enduring materials, considered design choices, and spaces that invite you to linger a little longer.
