The flexibly designed renovation in Brunswick has extensively reworked the original bungalow footprint to produce a highly functional and light filled home for a young family of 4. The original dwelling was reconfigured to maximise the usable floor area primarily within the existing footprint, resulting in a highly adaptable home to suit the changing needs of the family in the years ahead. The studio’s renowned attention to detail included extensive built-in furniture and concealed sliding doors to help separate Kitchen and Living areas as desired. A fresh and calming palette of whites and greys are warmed with local Victorian Ash timbers, techniques to subtly expand the space with an elegant aesthetic for this modestly sized home.
