The Finn House is a modern family residence located in Melbourne's north eastern suburbs. The large double storey addition and renovation was designed to cater for our client's large and growing family. This spacious home consists of seven bedrooms including a self-contained unit, three living areas, four bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. Our client's brief was to convert their existing residence in to a modern home with clean lines that is still practical and caters to their family's needs, while utilising as much of the existing structure as possible. The existing portion of the home was reconfigured to allow for free flowing open plan living areas surrounding a large outdoor space. The addition added the required number of bedrooms as well as a secondary living space and bathroom. The large balcony off the master bedroom takes advantage of the green outlook in Melbourne’s north east. The use of timber throughout the project added warmth and assisted in blending in with the buildings natural surrounds.
