Winsomere Cres
Type
YEAR
2012
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The original house on
this waterfront site was a double-skin brick bungalow with warren-like rooms
and little connection with the amazing views on offer. Time-worn but sturdy,
the clients liked the traditional detailing of the existing house but wanted to
maximise the sun and views.
Philosophically, a
renovation was preferred to a new build and the brief required a contemporary
home incorporating the existing. As a result, the focus of the design was on an
amalgam of the old and new structures.
Formally the house
comprises two exisiting and two new blocks, linked by the hallway, foyer and
stairs. The existing blocks contain two brick-clad and lined bedrooms, an
office and an original art deco bathroom. The new blocks contain the living
spaces in a zinc-clad apexed void, and the master suite in a cedar-screened
block. These sit on a lower level plinth, which houses a guest bedroom,
bathroom, laundry and media room.
The original brickwork has
been stripped back and painted white as part of the re-presentation of the old
house, and is further enhanced by the refinished interior doors, double-glazed
existing lead-light windows and timber details.
The house is directed to
the view and is arranged so that, on entry from the street, there is a natural
progression from the original house through to the new. From the foyer, stairs
lead down as the asymmetrically framed view is revealed.
