Renovation by Buildology

From the home builder

Prior to renovation, the original character home had a quaint and cosy charm, but its appeal was hindered by a disjointed extension that introduced a sense of separation and isolation. 

The garage occupied a large portion of area at the rear, thus underutilising the outdoor space. 

Plus, the interior felt dark and small even though it was north facing. 

Our design intent was to create an open yet connected, light space for the family to grow and enjoy together

Rich tradition seamlessly intertwined with sleek contemporary elements

The foundation of this concept lies in preserving the essence of tradition. 

Intricate mouldings and ornate woodwork serve as anchors, grounding the streetscape. 

Clean lines and a minimalist décor add a layer of sophistication, breathing new life into the old – the past and present harmonising effortlessly.

As you step onto the traditional character porch entering into the hallway, you are gently welcomed through to the heart of the home – where the space transforms before your eyes.

Modern, open living area

Here, the clean lines, expansive windows, and high ceilings create a refined atmosphere.

The large, northern glazing frames the views of the lush backyard beyond and floods the space with natural light. 

The vaulted ceilings create a sense of airiness, expanding the perceived dimensions. 

Sunlight filters through the vaulted wings, casting a warm and inviting glow down through the space below.

The wrapping louvre roof hovers gracefully between the large glazing elements – its sleek lines mirroring the elegance of the interior. 

Cosy, intimate spaces beckon conversation out on the deck. 

The fluid connection between the interior and exterior creates a transitional social space ideal for a vibrant, active family home.
