In a world saturated with visual noise and ever-changing trends, Brown Reneman is quietly redefining what coastal living can be. The multi-disciplinary studio, led by Lucy Brown and Jake Reneman, is setting a new benchmark for understated sophistication along Australia’s most coveted shorelines.
The Northern Beaches have long been associated with grand gestures in architecture, glass-clad facades, sculptural forms, and cliffside residences which seem to effortlessly dissolve into expansive ocean views.
Within this landscape, the work of Brown Reneman sits quietly confident; timeless, considered and inherently refined.
Characterised by craftmanship, refined materiality and a deep respect for place, these are residences designed not to dominate their setting, but to engage with it thoughtfully, responding to the everyday rituals of living by the sea. It is this design restraint, deeply contextual, deeply personal, that now defines the studio’s growing reputation among discerning clients.
“Initially I was drawn to the quiet beauty of the area, its sense of anonymity and privacy,” says Lucy Brown, whose global background in high-end commercial projects informs the studio’s exacting approach to residential interiors.
“The area naturally lends itself to the notion of quiet luxury, and we saw a lot of opportunity.”
Before founding the practice, Lucy Brown spent over a decade working across the UK, Europe and the Middle East where she led high-profile projects for Fortune 500 companies, embassies, and even foreign royalty. This global experience, coupled with the technical expertise and delivery precision of co-founder Jake Reneman, underpins every residential project the studio undertakes along the peninsula.
“These homes, often located on complex sites with panoramic exposure demand more than just a strong design narrative; they require precision, planning expertise and highly coordinated project delivery,” says Jake Reneman. Brown Reneman provides all three.
What sets Brown Reneman apart is its comprehensive approach. Equal parts design studio and project management firm, the studio delivers a fully integrated service, managing everything from planning approvals and consultant coordination through to construction oversight and delivery.
This unique studio structure, design and delivery under one roof, allows Brown Reneman to maintain the integrity of their vision, from concept through to completion.
It also enables clients who reside interstate or internationally to remain highly engaged in the creative process while leaving the stress and complexity of project delivery in capable hands.
“Our process is highly tailored to each client. Whether they are looking for a trusted partner to act on their behalf, engaging with them only for key decisions, or would like to be involved in every last detail, we can adjust our approach to suit,” says Lucy.
Brown Reneman’s international connections further elevate the offering, granting clients access to a global design network.
“If our clients would like to view their furniture in the London showroom, or select their stone from the quarry in Italy, we can make it happen.” It’s this rare combination of creative clarity, operational rigour, and global reach that allows the studio to deliver projects of a global standard, which feel almost inevitable in their quiet belonging along the Palm Beach shoreline.
