Recognition

The term "Warrawong" originates from the Aboriginal language and holds different meanings, such as "side of a hill" or "a windy place on a hill". This renovation offers stunning views and refreshing breezes as it sits on top of the hills, providing a picturesque outlook of the Paddington neighbourhood in QLD. The primary goal was to renovate the house while preserving its original structure, updating the interior spaces, and improving access to the outdoors.

By incorporating existing materials in the renovations, the design maintains consistency and establishes a serene and soothing colour scheme for the project. Casa Warrawong demonstrates how to maximise the use of existing space in a traditional old house, transforming the areas to create the perfect family home.

"From the beginning, working with Leticia was inspiring and thoroughly enjoyable. She brings creativity, practicality and warmth to the design process, and the result has exceeded every expectation. The home feels open and connected from one room to the next, with finishes that are both sophisticated and welcoming. It has a quiet harmony that you notice as soon as you step inside.

What really sets Leticia apart is her ability to listen and then elevate ideas into something better than you imagined. She offered thoughtful options, respected our budget and found smart ways to reuse elements to maintain quality. Her attention to detail was exceptional and her drawings were clear and insightful.

Throughout the build she stayed close to the process, collaborating with the builder and suppliers to ensure everything came together smoothly. She was always available, calm and ahead of any challenges, which made the entire experience easy and enjoyable.

We feel incredibly fortunate to live in this home. It brings us joy every day and we are genuinely grateful to have worked with Laar Design. We recommend Leticia without hesitation."
