A period frontage home with contemporary work completed through the internals, extending to the rear of the home. The contrast of material has been employed with the mixed use of the sandstone used as a day bed in front of the home, allowing full access to the established garden, and the use of cedar and tallow wood creating a perimeter at the rear. A lifestyle-focused home that will patina naturally over the years, adding yet further character to the dwelling.

The use of sandstone and tessellated tiles on the front porch maintains character of a federation home of the era.

The detached garage on the southern side of the dwelling is accessible through a shared driveway from the adjacent property.

The arctic glass on the north-western corner of the home offers a double duty solution for privacy from the adjacent property and also diffusing the intensity of the afternoon sun for the veranda and bedroom.

The detached garage is accessed through a sliding door via the rear outdoor space. The vertical timber layer on the door, matching the enclosure of the of the garage provides a visual concealment.

Flanked by vegetation, the outdoor space on the southern side of the home has been by timber vertical latices that continues its wrap around the detached garage.

The indoor living space is connected to the outdoor entertaining space via double bi-fold doors.

An open plan arrangement between kitchen, living and entertainment spaces, allow for uninterrupted conversations.

The rear pool, within reach of the entertaining space allows the children autonomy in the water, whilst within visual reach of adults.

Through the use of perspex, light from inside the garage is able to penetrate through, giving life in an otherwise dark corner.
