A thoughtful renovation of a 1970s brick-and-weatherboard home in Doncaster, featuring a new master-bedroom suite and a reconfiguration of existing spaces, while preserving the north-facing backyard and enhancing overall living amenity.

The brief for this existing 1970s brick-and-weatherboard home in Doncaster was very conventional: to add a new master-bedroom suite and also re-configure and refurbish the existing spaces; including the kitchen, dining room, living room, bathrooms and home office. The challenge was that a typical 'back-yard extension' on the wedge shaped block would involve sacrificing coveted north-facing backyard and would compromise the amenity of the existing home.

“John Liu and Steph Richardson of Inbetween Architecture have delivered us a truly remarkable and beautiful home. From the outset, they took time and listened to what makes our family of three tick, our backgrounds, our interests and what we wanted from a home. We already knew we liked Inbetween’s work. It is understated, yet so clever in form, proportion and use of space. That topped with creativity we could never dream of is what has made our house a wonderful place to be. With any building project, there are challenges and ours came with a few. John and Steph navigated through the tricky planning, heritage overlay requirements of the existing dwelling and meticulously resolved any technical challenges that came with the new design. All dealt with before building commenced. Their choice of a quality builder with architect pedigree, attention to detail and a high level of organizational skills, resulted in a build with exceptional quality across all trade sets. All driven by a schedule that started on time and finished on time. We’ve been back in our home for 3 months and we all still marvel at the beauty of it and feel overwhelmed by the functionality of the design. It’s like we’re on a dreamy holiday. I hope I don’t wake up and find it’s not real.”
