Located in a Heritage Conservation Area, alterations to the external fabric of the building have been largely confined to the rear so as not to interrupt the existing buildings contribution to the streetscape and comply with Council’s policies. Internally, a major reconfiguration has been planned around a new central stairwell and void with a large skylight over, drawing light into the heart of the building. To the rear, new living spaces are contained below a simple flat steel roof, located symmetrically below the large brick gable end, one of the redeeming features of the existing house. Bays protruding from either side of the gable roof to the upper level match the modern aesthetic of the ground level additions. Window boxes pick up on the existing details of the front façade and provide an internal seating area to north facing rooms. Builder PGC Projects Photographer Jason Waddell

“It seemed to be that every time we came across a house renovation we particularly admired, it had been designed by Castlepeake. When it was time for us to renovate, we had no hesitation in getting them involved. They understood our brief and developed innovative floor plans that increased light penetration whilst keeping within the building footprint. Castlepeake were also happy for us (first time renovators) to be a part of the design process and bring our personalities into the build. Our century old Californian bungalow received a well-deserved makeover with the perfect blend of modern and old. The team at Castlepeake assisted every step of the way from concept, detailed design phase to construction and completion.”
