Mona Vale Laundry Renovation

This Mona Vale laundry renovation redefines a purely functional space into one of quiet craftsmanship and enduring practicality. Designed for a busy household with four sons, the brief centred on durability, organisation, and the seamless integration of thoughtful detail.

Every element was approached with purpose. Custom joinery maximises storage and efficiency, ensuring the space can accommodate high daily volume while maintaining an uncluttered appearance. The layout was reconfigured to optimise workflow — each surface, cabinet, and shelf contributing to a rhythm of ease and order.

The tactile character of the room emerges through handcrafted details by SØNDER — most notably the solid American oak floating shelf and hanging rail, designed and made in-house. The warmth of the timber offsets the crisp palette of the cabinetry and benchtop, introducing a subtle softness to the otherwise robust space.

This balance of refinement and resilience defines the project’s success — a hardworking utility room elevated through craftsmanship, proportion, and material honesty.
