Built in the Edwardian style, Green Street always boasted plenty of character but it suffered from limited natural light and a disconnected, convoluted layout that separated it from the beautiful backyard.

This thoughtful renovation transforms the home, enhancing its functionality and aesthetics while honouring its original charm. The reimagined layout creates a seamless flow between rooms, making daily living and entertaining more effortless. Key spaces like the kitchen and living areas now extend naturally to the outdoors, creating a strong connection to the garden and making the backyard a true extension of the home.

Flooding the space with natural light was a priority, with strategically placed windows, skylights, and glass doors bringing the outdoors in. The once-dark interiors are now filled with light, making the home feel open and airy. Fresh, light-toned finishes and materials further amplify this effect, adding a sense of spaciousness and brightness. Soft whites, neutral palettes, and clean lines give the home an updated, contemporary feel, while respecting its heritage.

In addition to aesthetics, the renovation has reimagined the home to support modern family life. Whether it’s open concept living spaces for shared moments or private areas for work and relaxation, the design is flexible and functional, adapting to everyday needs. This project breathes new life into a timeless classic, combining old-world charm with the lightness and ease of modern living.
