This project involves a major transformation of a 1900 transitional villa, focused on light, space, and modern living.

The renovation centres around a new living room extension and full reconfiguration of the rear of the home, opening up the kitchen and living areas to better connect with the outdoors and capture the afternoon sun. The result will be a bright, open-plan space that enhances both flow and everyday functionality.

A bespoke kitchen will sit at the heart of the home, complemented by rosewood timber windows and joinery that reflect the character of the original villa. Existing matai flooring will be carefully restored throughout, with additional reclaimed timber sourced to seamlessly extend into the new areas.

As part of the works, the home is being repiled to improve structural integrity and provide a solid foundation for the renovation moving forward.

New bathrooms and a laundry are being thoughtfully integrated into the design, delivering a cohesive and highly functional layout tailored for modern family living.

Natural light is a key driver of the design, with seven skylights being introduced throughout the space to flood the interior with light and create a warm, inviting atmosphere year-round.

The project also includes a new roof, ensuring long-term durability while complementing the refreshed form of the home.

The result will be a considered renovation that celebrates original features while introducing modern design, creating a light-filled, timeless home built for the future.
