As you approach the property, you are welcomed by a modern concrete block driveway and a steel-framed entrance. The discreet front door beneath the entrance porch complements the overall aesthetic. The project incorporates touches of steel and wood, inside and out, creating a captivating allure.

By incorporating large openings and new wall cladding, we seamlessly blended form and function, providing a contemporary upgrade to the existing residence. The double volume lounge space with its captivating feature wall draws attention to the northern facade, creating a visual division between open living areas and private sections of the home.

The open plan living and dining areas flow effortlessly onto the patio and extend gracefully to the entertainment and pool level, offering a delightful integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for relaxation and leisurely gatherings.
