Renovation by Dalecki Design

From the designers:

This alteration and addition to a character home in a leafy, inner suburb of Perth has established a meaningful connection with external living spaces while drawing light and air into the new, open plan living area.

Frustrated by the out-dated planning of the original house, including a dark and narrow kitchen and dining room and a separate living room, the owners wanted to modernise their home, creating contemporary spaces and introducing natural light and ventilation.

The design focussed on correcting the constrained and impractical planning by establishing the front portion of the house as a private zone, creating a new entertaining and living zone at the rear, and introducing a multi-purpose activity room and two external living spaces at the centre of the house – an intermediary area and vehicle for light entry and engagement across the site.

Looking from the main living area to one

Employing a restrained approach to detailing, materiality and form while elegantly referencing the character of the original home satisfied planning requirements and elicited a sophisticated response to the owners’ brief. 

The resulting refined and light-filled design speaks to Dalecki Design’s dedication to combining the character of loved homes with the joy and enriched experience of personalised, contemporary spaces.

The open heart of the home. - Character
