Restoring or renovating a period property is a delicate balance between rescuing the features of the past and providing the living spaces we expect today. In a successful renovation, a heritage house is revitalised, the streetscape is protected and the home is ready for the next chapter in its life. The detailed client brief aimed to restore the period property and provide an attention-grabbing contemporary new building with open-plan living areas, lots of sunlight and a connection to the garden. The new building was a challenging project given it was constructed on a steep hill. The standing seam clad walls align seamlessly with the 50 degree pitch roof created a visually stunning building. Architecturally different but stitched together with a glass link which creates a point of connection between the two.
This superior executive residence now comprises tranquil light filled entertaining and living areas along with a thoughtfully zoned bedroom wing with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms complemented by the double garage and separate guest apartment. The residence is finished with all modern appliances and European Oak floors and highly detailed European and American polished timber joinery.
