Behind Australia’s Best Bathroom Renovation

The award-winning Sydney bathroom renovation that secured the national title was an exceptional project in Rozelle, where contemporary luxury met historic character.

Initially, the project appeared fairly straightforward until walls were removed to reveal original Sydney sandstone dating back to convict times. Jackson and the Designline team quickly realised that the opportunities far outweighed the challenges. They wasted no time reimaging plans that would ultimately celebrate and preserve this heritage feature, turning a discovery into the defining statement of the space.

The result blends bespoke custom cabinetry and modern indulgence, featuring soft-close timber joinery, smoky mirrored accents, and ambient LED feature lighting that highlights the sandstone’s natural warmth. Underfloor heating and heated towel rails complete the experience, ensuring that beauty and comfort coexist in perfect balance.

It’s a renovation that captures the essence of Sydney living, seamlessly merging history, innovation, and timeless design excellence.
