A thoughtfully renovated Brunswick bungalow, transformed into a light-filled, adaptable home for a family of four, featuring built-in furniture, concealed sliding doors, and a calming palette enhanced by local Victorian Ash timbers.

The flexibly designed renovation in Brunswick has extensively reworked the original bungalow footprint to produce a highly functional and light filled home for a young family of 4. The original dwelling was reconfigured to maximise the usable floor area primarily within the existing footprint, resulting in a highly adaptable home to suit the changing needs of the family in the years ahead. The studio’s renowned attention to detail included extensive built-in furniture and concealed sliding doors to help separate Kitchen and Living areas as desired. A fresh and calming palette of whites and greys are warmed with local Victorian Ash timbers, techniques to subtly expand the space with an elegant aesthetic for this modestly sized home.

“We engaged Kirsten of Kirsten Johnstone Architecture following a recommendation from a builder and friend, for a large renovation just over 2 years ago. From the first site meeting I had complete confidence in Kirsten and her ability to understand what we were after. I wasn't wrong!! Not only has Kirsten designed an amazing house, she has now turned it into a home with some incredible styling. Kirsten listened to what we were after and didn't push her own vision onto us. The project has only recently finished following 2 years of constant works and Kirsten was there right the way through the process. The home we have, is now an amazing mix of what we wanted and Kirsten's many design ideas. The family love each and every space created and we know that the home will be well used for many years to come. I will definitely be using Kirsten for the next project, whether its a home to live in or a weekend getaway.”
