Large outdoor patio provides seating by fireplace and outdoor dining with bbq and grill.

Minimalist finishes and fine detailing allow the home owners’ art collection to capture visitors’ attention. The rift cut white oak floor, with its unique linear appearance, flows from the front hall through the interconnected living spaces. Walnut accents and Douglas fir window frames bring warmth to the space doublespace photo

The original house was previously extended but had not been constructed to be in keeping with a building of this age and architectural appearance. We demolished the existing garage and two storey rear extension, both of which formed part of the previous extension works, and replaced this with a single storey side extension and a two storey rear extension, both of which are on the same footprint. Furthermore we formed a small rear single storey entrance which enabled us to open up the existing stairs which were cramped and devoid of any natural light. The main principle of the scheme was to open up the interior of the building allowing for improved natural light and to create an efficient, ergonomic family dwelling which blends into the long-established neighbourhood. All materials that have been used are in keeping with the period of the house and the design of the extension retain the proportions and heights of the existing period of the property, along with the windows and doors and a new Victorian styled traditional sky lantern.

Dining area within the larger living room is defined by a built-in bookcase which houses wine storage. Drawers underneath hold dining and household items. Expandable dining table accommodates day-to-day meals as well as larger parties. Refurbished chandelier helps bridge the traditional interior with a more modern feel. Photo: Heidi Solander.
