Extension and Renovation – About this home

This project took a 1920’s existing cottage and blended it with a modern extension to create a stunning home for a growing family. The addition of the new brick wall using recycled bricks added security without compromising on aesthetic.

Once we were on-site, we quickly got to work, rebuilding the existing garage and erecting the master ensuite on top of it before cutting the back of the cottage off. This allowed the clients to stay in the house longer and saved them from having to rent for an extended period of time.

 

Adding a parent’s retreat over the existing garage consisting of a master bedroom, ensuite and dressing room, with a study, lounge and integrated wine cellar on the ground floor, provides them with a sanctuary from the buzz of family life.

With a focus on creating a seamless flow throughout the home, we designed the layout to ensure that there is a real sense of continuity, from the front door leading into the dining area, kitchen, and outdoor space. The clients wanted to embrace a modern look for the extension without taking away from the original cottage, so original Jarrah flooring gives way into the contrasting polished concrete.

The north facing alfresco is complemented by an operable roof which allows the clients to control the light in the interior living space. The new deck contrasts beautifully with the reclaimed brick and great care was taken to ensure that the existing tree had a home in the new space.
