DOVER HEIGHTS PROJECT // Bar

Perched in the prestigious suburb of Dover Heights, this meticulously renovated home is the epitome of refined coastal living. Our team at Improva had the privilege of designing and delivering custom joinery throughout the kitchen, bar, and laundry areas, spaces where both form and function meet effortlessly.

Working closely alongside a talented team comprised of the interior designer, builder, and of course, our discerning clients. We brought a shared vision to life through thoughtful craftsmanship and tailored detailing.

A standout feature of this project is the bespoke bar area, designed to be both a showpiece and a practical entertainer’s haven. Here, custom mesh cabinet doors add texture and visual interest, while concealing a clever design detail: the doors open and seamlessly slide back into hidden pockets, creating an elegant, unobstructed bar display when in use. Every element, from the luxurious finishes to the considered functionality, was designed to elevate the entertaining experience.

Collaborating so closely with the entire project team allowed us to ensure every detail was aligned and executed to the highest standard. The result is a home that feels luxurious, liveable, and perfectly tailored to our clients’ lifestyle.

We’re proud to have played a part in this beautiful transformation.

MONA VALE PROJECT // Coastal Oasis

Nestled in the heart of Mona Vale, this light-filled kitchen is the centrepiece of a home designed for effortless entertaining and everyday living. In collaboration with Sherocon Building, our team at Improva had the pleasure of bringing the client’s vision of a coastal oasis to life through meticulously crafted joinery.

From the outset, the brief was clear, to design a space that feels relaxed yet refined, with seamless transitions between function and beauty. Our joinery design anchors the kitchen with clean, crisp white cabinetry paired with subtle, textural finishes. The shaker-profile doors, paired with brushed brass handles, strike the perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern coastal charm.

A standout feature is the honed marble splashback, laid in a classic subway pattern, introducing soft movement and texture without overwhelming the space. Complemented by warm timber open shelves and brass accents, the joinery enhances the light, bright aesthetic, while offering practical storage solutions that meet the needs of a busy family home.

One of the defining elements of this kitchen is the connection to the outdoors. The elongated window splashback allows natural light to flood the space, framing lush garden views, while the adjacent servery window opens seamlessly to the alfresco area; creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

Every detail in this space was considered, from the placement of power points to the tactile mix of materials, to ensure the result is both beautiful and liveable.

We’re proud to have collaborated with Sherocon Building and our wonderful clients on this project. The result is a kitchen that captures the essence of coastal living; fresh, inviting, and built to last.

Thoughtfully placed windows invite soft natural light to dance across the surfaces, while layered textures, premium materials, and warm lighting create a spa-like ambience that feels indulgent yet effortless. It’s a space designed to restore, unwind, and inspire.

DOVER HEIGHTS PROJECT // The Kitchen

The heart of the home - where an effortless combination of joinery in NavUrban 'Clifton Hill' and Talostone Arabescato NeroMatt stone has elevated functionality and made this the most beautiful space.

The brief for this client was to deliver the ‘WOW’ factor – and with the sleek design of this kitchen wow it certainly did. Being an open-plan concept, the application of these materials was essential to ensure that the kitchen blended in with the rest of the house, flowing into the adjacent rooms.

Enhancing the ambiance in this home we incorporated a sleek dry bar, adding in a dedicated spot for barware, spirits and a wine fridge, without having to deal with plumbing. All that is needed is a short counter and cabinet space to add this hint of luxury to your space. On the second level of the home, we outfitted the residence with a generous walk-in closet and a cleverly concealed study area.

This transformation was accomplished by reimagining the home's floor plan. The Renovation Experts we paired our clients with executed the designs with exceptional skill, breathing life into the planned renovations and fulfilling our clients' aspirations to their utmost delight.

Now complete, this residence is a blueprint for modern family living, where every detail has been carefully considered to foster connection, comfort, and timeless style.
