Elwood has one of Melbourne’s most distinctive mixes. Grand Art Deco apartments along the canal and the beach. Edwardian family homes on the tree-lined streets off Ormond Road. Modern townhouses and renovated terraces. We’ve renovated kitchens across all of them, and we design each one to suit the character of the home. Elwood kitchens tend to carry a bit of character. The brief is almost always the same: respect what’s already there, open the space up where it needs it, and finish it in materials that feel considered. We work carefully with the architecture, not against it.
A grand Art Deco apartment overlooking the canal. The kitchen was small, dated and hadn’t been touched since the 80s. We respected the original architecture, used curved cabinetry to reference the Deco lines, and finished it in a soft greige with brass detailing. Integrated appliances, slim stone benchtops, a petite breakfast bar. Seven weeks from brief to handover.

An Edwardian family home a few streets back from the beach. The owners wanted to open the kitchen to the dining and family rooms while keeping the leadlight and timber features intact. We built custom shaker cabinetry in soft off-white, added a long island, and finished with brushed brass hardware. Walk-in pantry behind. Ten weeks.

Elwood leans a few ways. Classic shaker suits the Edwardian family homes and the quieter period houses. Clean modern kitchens work beautifully in the Art Deco apartments and the newer builds. And Hamptons works well in the beachside family homes. We design and build all three, plus everything in between.

For a standard renovation, usually not. Parts of Elwood sit in heritage overlays the Art Deco precincts along the canal especially. If you’re changing the structure or anything externally visible, a permit may be needed. For apartments, body corporate approval is also often required. We’ll check and manage the applications.
