Success lay in fulfilling our clients brief for a well-appointed, modern family home whilst retaining and respecting the heritage character of the building and street scape.
In order to avoid the ‘tunnel affect’ that open plan terrace conversions can create, we used devices such as a partially retained cross wall to define the front sitting room, Ironbark veneer joinery to differentiate living space from kitchen space, a frameless glass canopy to flood the heart of the home with light, change in floor material and level from Ironbark timber to polished concrete, and progressively raising ceiling towards the rear. The result is a series of linked but distinct spaces which comfortably overlap functions.
