Malvern East 2

A transformative addition to this heritage residence not only introduces a new, light-infused living space and additional bedrooms but also pays homage to the original home's proportions and form.
Inside, external materials are artfully echoed, bridging the gap between the interior and the outdoors. A sleek dark timber pod discreetly conceals services and storage adjacent to the kitchen, while a low brick bench gracefully skirts the courtyard, providing an ideal spot for casual seating. Material selections are thoughtfully curated, focusing on refined elegance with the timeless allure of marble, a palette of whites and neutrals, tastefully contrasted by the warmth of natural timber.
Strategic use of mirrored surfaces adds a touch of illusion, reflecting views of the garden into the home and creating a sense of expanded space. This approach not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also fosters a harmonious blend of heritage charm and contemporary living.
