Located on a typical quarter-acre site in the leafy suburb of Malvern East, this project sought to renovate and restore a double fronted Edwardian residence as well as provide additional accommodation to the rear.
Our approach was to retain the front hallway and front four bedrooms, converting one bedroom into a master walk in robe/ensuite and the other into a sitting room/library. The new addition included two additional bedrooms, the main bathroom, powder and hallway which lead into the new modern kitchen, dining, living area at the rear. By locating the main family space lengthways along the south sound of the block with high ceilings and full height north-facing windows, the expression of light and space is particularly striking.
Internally a material palette of exposed brick, natural timbers and stone adds warmth and character to the main living spaces.
