Project Snapshot
Builder: Bayview Renovations
Location: Bentleigh East
Project Type: Full Home Renovation (Delivered in Two Phases)
Brady is a staged whole-home renovation completed in collaboration with Bayview Renovations. The project was delivered across two carefully planned phases, balancing immediate lifestyle improvements with a long-term vision for the home.
Phase One focused on transforming the private living spaces, including a new master suite, walk-in robe, home office, ensuite, main bathroom and powder room. Phase Two expands into the heart of the home, introducing a redesigned kitchen, living and dining spaces, outdoor entertaining area, laundry and mudroom.
Studio Alyza provided a complete design package including design development, documentation, material selections and photorealistic visualisation to support both project delivery and future planning.

Phase 1
completed spaces
The first stage of the renovation focused on transforming the home's private living areas. Working closely with the builder and client, the design sought to create a calm and cohesive retreat while improving functionality and day-to-day living. Careful consideration was given to materiality, storage solutions and spatial planning to ensure each space felt connected and timeless.
Featured Spaces
Designed to balance practicality for a family and visual impact, the main bathroom features durable materials, generous storage and a timeless palette suited to family living. Natural textures and warm finishes create a welcoming environment while maintaining durability for everyday use.
bathroom
The ensuite was designed as a contemporary retreat, combining warm timber joinery, brushed brass detailing and textured stone surfaces. Custom cabinetry maximises storage while maintaining a clean and refined aesthetic, creating a space that feels both luxurious and highly functional.
ensuite
The master suite was reimagined to provide a private sanctuary within the home. By integrating a walk-in robe and dedicated mini home office, the layout supports modern living while maintaining a sense of calm and separation from the home's shared spaces for focus time.

powder room
The powder room was designed to create a memorable experience for guests while remaining consistent with the overall design direction of the home. A carefully curated combination of textures, warm timber tones and refined fixtures delivers a space that feels elevated and inviting. Although compact in scale, thoughtful detailing and material selections ensure the powder room makes a strong visual impact within the renovation.
Documentation Snapshot
Detailed documentation was prepared to support quoting, approvals and construction throughout Phase One. This included floor plans, internal elevations, joinery details and comprehensive material schedules, ensuring design intent was clearly communicated and successfully delivered on site.
Phase 2
Future Vision
The second stage of the renovation focuses on the home's primary living spaces. Building upon the foundation established in Phase One, the design introduces a refined and highly functional kitchen, living and dining zone, alongside a new laundry, mudroom and outdoor entertaining area. Photorealistic visualisation was used to explore design decisions and provide confidence before construction commenced.
Visualisation
The kitchen has been designed as the central hub of the home, combining generous storage, integrated appliances and durable finishes suited to family living. Natural oak tones, marble surfaces and brass detailing create a timeless yet contemporary aesthetic.

The dining area was designed to foster connection and bring the family together. Positioned within the open-plan layout, the space benefits from strong visual links to both the kitchen and outdoor entertaining areas, creating a flexible environment suited to everyday meals and larger gatherings alike.
dining
Designed as a comfortable and inviting retreat, the living room centres around a custom fireplace and joinery feature that anchors the space. Layered textures, natural materials and carefully considered lighting contribute to a warm and relaxed environment, while maintaining visual continuity with the surrounding living areas.

laundry
The laundry was designed to maximise functionality while maintaining the aesthetic quality found throughout the home. Custom cabinetry, open shelving and durable finishes create a highly efficient workspace that integrates seamlessly with the overall design.
Custom joinery provides dedicated storage for everyday family life, creating an organised transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design balances practicality with refined detailing consistent with the broader renovation.
mudroom
outdoor entertaining
The outdoor entertaining area extends the home's living spaces beyond its internal footprint, creating a flexible environment for gatherings and everyday family use while maintaining strong visual connections to the interior.
Documentation Snapshot
A comprehensive documentation package was developed to support construction and project delivery for Phase Two. This included detailed joinery documentation, elevations, schedules and visualisation imagery, allowing design decisions to be resolved prior to construction and ensuring clear communication between client, builder and trades.
Project Outcome
Brady demonstrates the value of a staged renovation approach, allowing the home to evolve over time while maintaining a clear and cohesive design vision. Through close collaboration with Bayview Renovations, the project balances practical family living with thoughtful design, detailed documentation and long-term planning.
Phase One has successfully delivered a collection of completed spaces that enhance everyday living, while Phase Two establishes a clear roadmap for the next chapter of the home's transformation.
