A gable form in the original villa is sandwiched between the lap pool and lounging area and the concrete form of the new northwest-facing extension.
The freshly revived villa seen from Norfolk Street.
At night the pleated roof is underlit to dramatic effect and framing the setting sun .
Located on a street of mainly Edwardian villas, in various states of repair, the backyard is open, inviting the sun.
Looking straight into the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area from the backyard. The door in the middle leads down a corridor to the entrance off Douglas Street.
The entrance to the scullery off the kitchen.
Dark timber panelled cabinetry provides a nice contrast to the blonde timber flooring.
Glass sliding doors open and close up a lounge area off the kitchen and dining area. Triangular glazed clerestory windows draws light into the kitchen.
The staircase to the upstairs guest bedroom suite, which sits over the garage.
Bespoke built-in cabinetry in the lounge area.
Shuttered concrete creates a dramatic textural wall, seen throughout the home.
New and old – a neighbouring villa is juxtaposed against the new Poured Pleats structure, but the horizontal weatherboard pattern in the concrete helps to marry the two buildings.
The staircase to the guest suite.
The steps up to the old villa rise about 1m in level.
A master bedroom in the original villa features soft green walls that tie in with the exterior paint colour.
The guest suite enjoys the striking zigzag concrete ceiling, along with walls in weatherboard-shuttere concrete and timber panelling.
Timber, concrete and brass provide a natural material palette in the guest suite.
The ensuite bathroom is lined in marble.
