Blenheim Additions
By Architelle
When we first saw this substantial Federation-style home, it was tired and dated in décor and layout. While the original front rooms were well proportioned and included many intact period details, the rear was a rabbit warren made up of pokey service rooms and haphazard additions, including an indoor pool that took up half of the rear garden. The brief was to alter and add to the home, and open up the pool, to provide the required accommodation and facilitate a contemporary family lifestyle, while capitalizing on the character of the original home.
