This residential alterations project is located on the western hill of North Curl Curl. Our clients' brief was to turn a series of low, damp, cold and dark unrenovated rooms into an airier usable family room with access to a new northern deck and another bedroom
To achieve this we excavated the natural rock forms that were within the basement space and lowered the overall floor area to provide for a polished concrete slab. External walls were rebuilt and a drainage ditch built around the perimeter, Large catch sliders opened up the northern elevation and a new timber deck, retaining wall and day bed were built
This is now a natural open flow from the front kitchen through to the family room, providing more usable spaces, better sun penetration, vastly improved thermal efficiency.
The result is a home that exudes a natural open flow, inviting occupants to navigate effortlessly from the front kitchen through to the spacious family room. This thoughtful redesign not only maximises the usable space but also enhances sun penetration and thermal efficiency, ensuring year-round comfort for the entire family.
In summary, this project is a testament to our unwavering commitment to crafting homes that not only meet the practical needs of our clients but also elevate their everyday living experience. By reimagining the existing space and embracing the natural beauty of its surroundings, we’ve transformed this residence into a sanctuary of warmth, light, and tranquillity—a true reflection of Australian coastal living at its finest.
