In this episode, we chat with DevelopHer Taeler Jordan of FTLO Design about her latest project, an Eltham renovation and extension named Napoleon House.
We cover the importance of considering the orientation and site implications when choosing a property. She also explains how she dealt with the challenges of a sloping block and incorporated height changes in the design.
Taeler emphasises the use of flooring and lighting as key features in the home and discusses the intentional design choices she made to create a cohesive and calming space. She also shares the suppliers and products she used in the project.
The conversation concludes with a discussion about the upcoming sale of the house and we wish Taeler the very best!
