Mona Vale Residence

The revival of a 1950s brick bungalow, a diamond in the rough, with its classic mid-century features waiting to be reborn. Located in Mona Vale, this project was designed and executed with great care to create a spacious, contemporary family home without sacrificing the essence of its mid-century character.

The existing house, though run-down, provided the perfect canvas for our team to reimagine it as a 5-bedroom dwelling, tailored to meet the needs of a growing young family. What was once a small, unassuming structure has been reborn into a spacious and inviting living space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

One of the standout features of this rejuvenated property is the preservation of mid-century details. Exposed beams and extended, deep eaves showcase a commitment to honouring the architectural heritage of the original structure. These details are seamlessly integrated into the design, providing a touch of nostalgia while enhancing the overall aesthetic.

The exterior of the house has been painted a fresh and crisp white, adding a contemporary touch that beautifully contrasts with the warm, earthy brick foundation. This blend of old and new creates a harmonious balance that exemplifies the timeless appeal of mid-century design, updated for the 21st century.

One of the most breathtaking additions to the property is the new level that was added, allowing for the capture of beautiful ocean views. The master bedroom suite and balcony have been strategically positioned to provide a front-row seat to the stunning vistas of the nearby ocean. Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves and the sight of the shimmering sea from the comfort of your own bedroom – it's an experience that defines luxury and tranquillity.
