A classic 1920s bungalow has been reimagined into a modern family haven, thanks to the vision and craftsmanship of the architect and builder. For the owners, the home’s lush setting was ideal, but its dated layout lacked connection to the garden and didn’t meet the needs of their growing family. Working closely with the architects, the build team delivered a thoughtful renovation that respects the home’s character, while adding contemporary functionality. Original features, including ceiling domes, roses and recreated bungalow battens, have been meticulously preserved and repositioned in the older part.

The new extension is where the transformation shines. A soaring cathedral-like ceiling, expansive windows and large timber sliders now flood the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge with natural light, creating a seamless flow to the outdoors and an expansive deck. This living space is purposebuilt for large family gatherings, with clever storage solutions and a fresh sense of openness. The 240sqm home now offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas and a practical laundry and butler’s pantry. Exterior updates blend harmoniously with the original structure. Considered design and expert execution have come together, breathing new life into a cherished home and delivering modern comfort, while honouring its past.
