This project was the renovation of an existing 1960s brick veneer house in Caulfield. The brief was to renovate the outside of the house to make it look more modern, add a new garage and entrance canopy. The inside was to incorporate a new kitchen, two new bathrooms, and remove a series of walls to open up the main spaces of the house.
The external solution was to render the exterior of the house to make it look like off-form concrete, add a garage with curved walls with timber batten cladding, and a ‘floating’ angular entrance canopy. The internal spaces incorporate subtle curves to gently lead people into the various spaces, which have all been renovated and modernized.
