The plan for this luxury family home was to make a statement and change the face of the street. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the original 1970s single storey, brick veneer home that is situated on a funnel shaped block, was in dire need of a renovation.

The new two-storey abode, measuring 270sqm, accommodates a long list of modern features. The ground floor contains a two-car garage, open-plan kitchen, meals and living area, formal dining room, oversized laundry, powder room and master bedroom with ensuite. While the upper level consists of three additional bedrooms, children’s retreat and bathroom.

The site called for a non-conventional design that also addressed the narrow street frontage, while at the same time respected the neighbourhood character.

During the design and construction of the renovation, many environmental considerations were explored throughout this residence to achieve a five-star energy rating. Large north-facing windows allow passive solar gain, with all windows double-glazed. Grey water recycling and water tanks for irrigation were also installed.
