LUXURIOUS URBAN UPGRADE
The brief presented to us by the owners of the semi-detached Edwardian home was to design a sense of urban livability whilst encompassing the properties heritage context.
The galvanised steel and aluminium louvres add a modern structural element in keeping with the traditional Edwardian features. Resulting in a reinvigorated home that offers our client a feeling of space and flow within its small footprint.
Our work included a partial demolition with a new addition to the first floor and second storey extension. The design broke up the traditional sectional layout and dark rooms – opening it up to reveal a bright flow of open spaces, making use of the rear northern exposure. The installation of seven skylights and the introduction of a private outdoor alfresco area contribute to a feeling of warmth and comfort. Along with a generous parents retreat and increased storage throughout for functionality.
