A stunning Queen Anne terrace home heritage that we designed for a young gay couple and their pocket dog. Their dream was to have more space, more light, and more character in their home.
We were faced with a few challenges, though. They wanted us to redesign the project completely and make sure the extension was more sympathetic to the original heritage of the house, using traditional materials. They had different ideas about the style and project, which we had to reconcile.
The proposed modifications to Council, was approved within a month!
The main focus was to create a light and warm environment using natural materials like Calacatta oro marble and oak timber.
We planned to replace the previous fiber cement cladding at the back with recycled brick and the aluminum windows with exposed timber windows to create a seamless continuity with the original heritage of the house. Through a re-thinking the internal layout, we designed a kitchen with a butler's pantry and a dining area more adequate for hosting large gatherings.
