A thoughtful renovation and extension of a weatherboard home, designed to enhance functionality while fostering a cohesive connection between old and new.

The reimagined kitchen transforms the home’s layout, introducing a dedicated dining space and improving natural light. A wall of deep green cabinetry serves as an anchor, offset by bright white joinery that amplifies light throughout the space. Skylights above direct sunlight onto the matte concrete-look benchtop, diffusing glare while maintaining a soft, natural ambience. Timber panelling on the island introduces warmth, complemented by a handcrafted pendant light made locally in Geelong. Behind the tall cabinetry, a concealed walk-in pantry ensures practical storage without disrupting the clean-lined aesthetic.

This rich green hue is carried through to the powder room, where we embraced the absence of natural light to create a moody, intimate retreat. A full-width mirror expands the sense of space, while carefully positioned lighting enhances depth and warmth. The tonal approach, layered textures, and refined fixtures transform this compact room into a striking yet cohesive element within the home’s broader design language.

By thoughtfully balancing contrast, warmth, and functionality, Belmont II delivers a refined yet highly practical evolution of contemporary family living. This home has been featured in GT Magazine.

Here’s what our client had to say:

When it came to renovating our home, we were first time rookies but were fortunate enough to be referred to Maddy and the team at Gecsek A+I. The team, led by Maddy’s exceptional service, communication and expertise exceeded all our expectations, ensuring our renovation journey was a fun project that flowed seamlessly and ensured we landed exactly where we wanted too!

From the initial consultation, Maddy listened to our vision to understand our style and design preferences, and then shared with us additional thoughts and insights, from an interior design perspective, that blended well and enhanced our own ideas.

What impressed us the most was Maddy’s meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect of the design was carefully considered from colour palettes & tones to lighting and accessories. Maddy’s sharp eye for aesthetics ensured that every element harmonised beautifully in creating our beautiful new home.

The final result of Maddy and the whole Gecsek A+I team’s work was nothing short of awesomeness!! The team’s creativity, expertise, and communication ensured that we have a beautiful new space to call our home and one that perfectly reflects our personality and lifestyle.

We have no hesitation in recommending Maddy and the Gecsek A+I team to anyone seeking a talented and dedicated interior designer team who will work with you to bring your dream space to life.
