Refurbishment and extension of a 1960s family house including a kitchen and dining area, entrance portico, bathrooms and a complete overhaul of the decorative finishes and services
The design aims to respect the house’s original design ambitions enhancing and complementing the existing, rather than contrasting or contradicting it.
On the exterior, the dominating existing horizontal lines of windows and timber fascias are re-interpreted in form of white Eternit-clad canopies, fascias and wall panels. Existing red hardwood panels are refurbished and complemented with matching hard wood cladding.
On the inside, the design and choice of materials are kept to a minimum. Existing hardwood floors, mahogany railings and trims, and red hardwood-veneered doors are complemented with new solid Merbau flooring and green slate for the bathrooms.
