This house, originally architecturally designed in the 1960s, appeared worn, weathered, and neglected. The internal spaces no longer suited modern lifestyles and were in need of a significant overhaul. While the house included essential rooms—kitchen, meals area, laundry, bathroom, three bedrooms, and a master bedroom with an ensuite—the concrete slab floor and solid double brick external walls provided a strong foundation for renovation.

Working closely with the MR HOMES AND PARTNERS Design team, special attention was given to creating an open, functional layout tailored to the client's busy, modern lifestyle. The ground floor required extensive reconfiguration and upgrades to major rooms, expanding small bedrooms, transforming the master bedroom into a media/theatre room, and enhancing the central courtyard. New openings were made in the double brick walls, replacing or adding external windows and doors. The existing bathroom, laundry, and ensuite were gutted and replaced with beautifully designed, functional fixtures and fittings.

Upstairs, a second storey was added, extending the home by 63m². The new level featured a spacious master bedroom, a luxurious ensuite, and a large walk-in wardrobe. The final design created a practical, beautiful space, blending functionality with aesthetics. A modern open staircase, crafted from Victorian Ash timber and contemporary stainless steel handrails, was thoughtfully designed to connect the ground and first floors, enhancing the home’s functionality.

The completed renovation met the high standards for a minimalist design, resulting in a robust, functional home perfectly suited for contemporary living.
