Art deco home renewal

A full interior renewal of an art deco home — fluted columns, curved joinery, a burgundy lacquered island, herringbone floors and layered lighting.

The project

Malvern

The house has its deco bones but little else left. The new interior is built around the original arches and ceiling details: fluted plaster columns, curved lacquered joinery and dark herringbone floors, lit in layers so the rooms feel warm rather than dark.

What the work involves

  • Whole-of-house strip-out and re-plan
  • Fluted plaster columns and restored arches
  • Curved lacquered island and custom joinery
  • Herringbone timber floors throughout
  • Layered lighting design with feature pendants

Start to finish

Every stage of the build

The parts of a job that decide how it lasts — demolition, framing, services and waterproofing — are the parts you never see once it's finished. Here they are.

  1. Stage 1 of 3

    Before

    The existing room or site, before any work begins.

  2. Stage 2 of 3

    During construction

    Strip-out, structure and services, then fit-out — the stages most clients never see.

  3. Stage 3 of 3

    Completed

    The finished result at handover.

Representative project imagery illustrating the scope and quality Local Tasker Construction can deliver. Final design, material selections and outcomes vary by site, approvals and client requirements.
