DESIGN BRIEF:
Transform the existing brick cottage into a family home maximizing the potential of the small block. The crucial part of the design brief for this project was "LIGHT". The original house was dark internally and the clients biggest fear was that by adding a second level to the house would make the ground floor internal space dark. The brief was to make everything feel light, spacious and bring the outdoors in.

DESIGN SOLUTION:
Create an internal staircase that filters natural light through to the ground floor level with a custom made glass & steel balustrade to control noise between the sleeping and entertaining areas.
The 4m high ceilings to the open plan living area create an unexpected sense of spaciousness.

The completed renovated home has 3 bedrooms, a master retreat with ensuite and walk in robe, designer kitchen , butlers pantry, mud room, home office, study zone, 3 internal living spaces, a separate guest house that overlooks the new pool and an undercover alfresco area that creates a seamless transition between the interior and exterior - complete with a rooftop garden.
