By Michael Cooper Architects
Positioned in the heart of Point Chevalier this petite family bungalow needed remodeling for an expanding family. The design was to be a sympathetic addition and remodel to the classic bungalow. Modern living was embraced while remembering the original character of the house; with the spacious section there was room to extend out the back while keeping a large back yard for the family.
The brief was to reconfigure the existing layout and create a new open plan kitchen/dining/living with direct access to outdoors. Spread over one level the bedrooms and bathrooms are at the front of the house and as the hallway continues to the rear it opens up to the living, kitchen and dining. The new space opens up to a French country styled kitchen with an adjacent lounge containing an extensive book shelf with exposed rafters overhead and large sliding timber doors.
