By MILEHAM - Architect & Custom Home Builder
This family home, whose owners love to entertain, was given a new lease on life with major structural work undertaken to provide for an expanded kitchen / living / dining room with generous entertaining zones and indoor / outdoor flow, alongside refreshed home office, family bathroom and laundry spaces.
Claiming back unused external space was key to achieving the brief. In order to extend and open up the living space, an existing steel beam had to be carefully extended, propped and placed inside the roof cavity. The new colour scheme and floor plan layout sought to enhance the concept of indoor / outdoor living and improve the reflectivity of natural light throughout the previously dark house. The swimming pool decking was replaced with Travertine stone paving to provide a sophisticated finish to complement the refreshed interiors.
