Renovation

The open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen are encompassed with bright vibes.

The kitchen faces the back garden and benefits from a double height atrium space. Pine has been used for the kitchen flooring and cabinets, a design element that is also picked up in the stairwell. The built-in refrigerator and pantry are cleverly hidden under the first flight of stairs.

Although the home's historic front facade needed to be preserved, the back of the residence was ripe for a remodel. The architects cladded the exterior in eastern cedar. The wood is offset with large expanses of glass, as well as yellow accents to add a playful atmosphere.

The Caroma shower head meets the highest level of Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) at three stars.

Cantilever Interiors designed and built the kitchen, which features ECO by Consentino kitchen countertops.

A private garden is accessible by a glass panel.
