Flemington House

The same family had treasured this 1940s semi-detached brick home since it was originally built. Its current owner, the great grandnephew of the original owner, was keen to honour its heritage. Original features inspired every detail, material selection and choice of colour. The rear part of the home was emptied and given a small extension. Service rooms were relocated and replaced, and the new kitchen and meals area was opened to a freshly landscaped backyard. Front bedrooms and the living room were also refreshed with original features left intact. From the entry, you walk into a carefully restored and somewhat humble 1940s home. Walk through to the rear, and it’s a mid-century mint-green party. Nods to the past include the fluted glass sliding cabinet doors, terrazzo floor and reclaimed joinery handles from the original kitchen. Contemporary living with respect for the past.
