Neutral Bay Heritage Project

Neutral Bay Heritage Project 

The Neutral Bay Heritage Project 1 by M+M Architects involved the transformation of a beautiful Federation-style house with charming original features into a stunning new home. The solidly built cavity brick walls and tile roof were retained, along with original fireplaces, moulded ceilings, and decorative skirting boards, preserving the character of the house. 

The project included removing 50’s additions, creating a more substantial extension, and relocating the carport to allow for a double car garage. The contemporary addition on the ground floor provided more living space and a connection to the beautiful rear garden.

To accommodate modern living, the 1950s additions at the rear were removed for a more substantial extension. An addition that blends seamlessly with the original structure, was created. This extension includes a state-of-the-art kitchen, a spacious butler’s pantry, a convenient laundry room, and a cozy sitting area for family relaxation and entertaining.

Despite challenges during construction, including material availability and increased costs due to COVID-19, the project was successfully completed in 2024, resulting in a truly remarkable home.
