The power of lighting to transform your home's ambiance…

At Debono Constructions, we know that your choice of lighting fixtures can dramatically influence the overall feel of your finished home. It's not just about illumination; it's about creating the right mood and atmosphere in each room.

Ambient lighting is your primary source of light, setting the general tone of a room. Think ceiling fixtures and chandeliers that spread soft, welcoming light across the space, making it feel warm and inviting.

Task lighting is perfect for areas where you need focused illumination, like kitchens and bathrooms. It enhances functionality, ensuring you have enough light to perform tasks efficiently.

Accent lighting highlights your home's best features. Whether it's under-cabinet lights in the kitchen or wall sconces in the living room, these fixtures add depth and drama, drawing attention to architectural details and decor.

Decorative lighting is where you can truly let your style shine. From elegant pendants to statement chandeliers, these fixtures not only illuminate but also serve as stunning focal points in your design.

By thoughtfully combining these lighting types, you can transform any room to communicate your individual taste and style.

Embracing the beauty of biophilic design in our home renovations and builds 🌿

At Debono Constructions, we love integrating natural elements into our projects to create spaces that feel both connected and inviting.

Our Enmore project perfectly showcases this with stunning new black bifolds that seamlessly open up the living and dining area to the outside courtyard.

Imagine a total of 10m of bifolds, bringing the outdoors in and enhancing the flow of natural light and fresh air throughout the home.

Moreover, the addition of new wooden floorboards and the addition of an open-flame fireplace further enhance these natural elements, transforming the property from just a home, to an oasis.

Thank you, Nerard and Menicksha, for trusting us with your home renovation. We are so pleased to have exceeded your expectations!

Oh, and a special shoutout to Kristy—we agree with Nerard, she's pretty awesome!

Seeing the Bones of Lilyfield Come to Life! 🔨

As we progress with the Lilyfield project, it's incredible to see the framework and essential structures taking shape. These moments give us an exciting glimpse into the finished home and remind us of all the hard work and dedication that goes into each phase of construction.

We can’t wait to share the final reveal with you!

Debono Constructions' Kenthurst: An Open, airy pool space that invites relaxation and joy.

At Kenthurst, Debono renovated the pool & built the pool area and pool house including living space, kitchen, and bathroom, blending modern simplicity with luxurious details.

The sleek monochromatic colour scheme on key architectural elements like the brick plinth, window frames and roof trim is beautifully contrasted against the vivid blue of the pool.

Cantilevered glass pool fencing blurs the lines between indoors and out, enhancing the flow and unity of the spaces & creating an inviting atmosphere.

High light windows flood the area with natural light, creating an open, airy feel that shifts beautifully with the seasons. Inside, rich textures meet natural tones in the fixtures and joinery, adding warmth and depth to every corner.

The kitchen is a highlight with cool grey cabinets, timber-finished display areas, and open shelving, crowned by a wide picture window that frames the outdoors. The Kenthurst project is a testament to Debono Constructions’ ability to create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.

These before and afters of the guest bathroom and laundry at Castle Hill are a prime example of how your less seen & guests spaces can be a stand out feature in your home, if you give them the love they deserve.

Did you know that the average person spends around 240 hours doing laundry every year?! That's a lot of time to spend in a space you don't absolutely LOVE.

And your guest bathroom… The space for relaxation and renewal for those nearest and dearest spending time in our homes, should be just as wow as your very own master ensuite would be!

Debono Constructions understands the importance of your home, down to the finest detail and last thought of rooms… Let us make every corner of your living quarters magic.

With a beautiful heritage façade to preserve and significant structural changes needed, our skilled team's project management capabilities were put to the test—and they excelled!

The home's heritage façade was preserved during this project, but behind it, everything is new. The outdated structure was reimagined to improve functionality and flow, creating a seamless transition from the heritage front to the modern living spaces.

Inside, the home features custom joinery in the kitchen, study, living areas, and three custom wardrobes, all designed to maximize space and storage. The new bathrooms and powder room showcase elegant design and high-quality finishes. The custom hidden laundry adds to the sleek, modern look.

We enhanced natural light with new doors and windows throughout, transforming the living experience. The new encaustic tiled front porch ties in beautifully with the heritage look and feel of the house, while the fresh floorboards and painting throughout create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Debono Constructions’ Concord; The perpetual staycation retreat.

Concord’s project vision was to unlock the full potential of a charming home. We aimed to create expansive, liveable spaces that made our client feel like coming home was arriving at a luxurious retreat.

Introducing a stylish box extension to the rear, this home now features a modern kitchen, a cosy living room, a spacious dining area, and a functional laundry, complete with an inviting swimming pool and deck.

Upstairs, a new, elegant master suite, boasting a large ensuite, walk-in robe and study continues the luxurious atmosphere of the home. The ensuite, a masterpiece of comfort, includes a double vanity, soaking tub & walk through shower, featuring a full-width shampoo shelf.

We also honoured our clients love for green, subtly weaving it throughout the home, creating a seamless blend with the light, dark and timer finishes.

Don’t just take our opinion on the success of this project…

Our client was moved to tears of joy when they saw the view of their serene landscape and the expanse of their new space.

This project wasn't just a renovation; it was a dream transformed into reality.

Debono Constructions’ Erskineville; Among our most challenging, yet rewarding projects.

With neighbours close on either side and restricted access, our skilled team's project management capabilities were put to the test—and they excelled!

The home's heritage façade was preserved during this project, but behind it, everything is new. The outdated structure was replaced with a two-storey extension, enhancing both space and functionality.

Inside, the home features elegant grey polished concrete heated floors on the ground level and warm timber upstairs. The ceiling-hung open staircase not only eases movement but also visually expands this narrow space.

We maximized natural light with glass ceilings and extensive glazing at the back, transforming the living experience. The exposed brick in the alfresco dining area links the minimalist interior with a lush green backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Debono Constructions' Forestville: A spacious and contemporary main bathroom upgrade & ensuite addition.

Sleek, clean lines with consistent tile finishes in varied sizes on the walls and floors enhance the modern vibe of this project. The minimalist beauty is accentuated by a shadow line wall-to-ceiling junction and a frameless shower screen.

Motion sensor activated LED strips above the shaving cabinet and beneath the wall-hung vanity have been used as a clever ambient lighting trick for little people heading into the bathroom at night. These ensure a soft, guiding light for those nighttime adventures and are guaranteed to keep the boogeyman away!

At Debono Constructions, every design decision is a blend of style and function, carefully crafted to enhance your living experience. We believe in creating points of interest that aren't just visually striking but also supremely functional.

Take, for instance, the acrylic floor in the loft of our Darlinghurst 1 project.

This innovative feature isn’t just a visual spectacle; it serves a crucial function by allowing natural light from the loft’s skylights to permeate the space below, beautifully illuminating the areas beneath.

It's this thoughtful approach to design that sets us apart.

Every step in the Debono process is multifaceted, aimed at actively producing the outcomes our clients dream of for their homes.

From the initial sketch to the final touches, our focus is on delivering both beauty and practicality in equal measure.

Some progress shots from our current project in Glossodia 🏠

As the structure is taking place, we’re beginning to see our vision coming to life & we’re beyond impressed by the skill and dedication brought to this project by our team so far!

Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to the big reveal!

At Debono Constructions, we're experts at capturing the essence of the outdoors and bringing it into your home.

Our approach uses light and natural elements to enhance every space. In our recent Crows Nest project, we amplified the natural light with a light, neutral colour palette and cleverly placed skylights, creating an environment that's airy and uplifting.

Taking advantage of and creating access to natural light within a home not only enhances aesthetics and property value, but offers improved mood and well-being effects.

In our Crows Nest project, we also featured recycled timber with railway sleeper trusses, introducing a touch of rustic elegance that complements the flood of natural light. These elements work together to blur the lines between inside and out, making the home feel larger and seamlessly connected to nature.

Experience the outdoors from the comfort of your living room… We can show you how. 🌿

With every construction project, there are moments to embrace the out-of-the-ordinary.

Whether it be a door painted in a bright colour, feature ceiling hung stairs, or an irregular shaped window, by adding unique elements, we create spaces that resonate deeply with our personalities and lifestyles.

A great example of doing so is our recent Darlinghurst 2 project.

Here, we dared to defy the usual by opting for stunning gold sinks, taps and hardware - turning everyday fixtures into luxurious focal points.

Ceiling-high upper cabinetry accessed by a bespoke American Oak ladder with gold-dipped fittings not only adds considerable storage but also an architectural feature that draws the eye upward and makes the most of every inch.

If you've got an out-of-the-box idea, Debono would love to work with you to bring it to life.

Did you know that the colour of your roof can actually affect your home’s temperature?

When you work with Debono Constructions, we’ll help you choose the perfect roof colour for comfort and energy efficiency, all the while looking stunning. It’s just another aspect of our attention to detail and commitment to your satisfaction that our clients love.
