Requiring a complete interior and exterior renovation, as well as excavation and remodelling of existing garage, this beautiful villa needed to be updated to suit a modern family.

A more open plan home was needed, so rooms were relocated and walls removed to create an area encompassing a playroom, dining area, kitchen and formal living room. The bathroom was fully removed and rebuilt, as well as a new ensuite in the master bedroom. The existing garage was removed and excavated to create a family room and office downstairs, with a new staircase being added to provide internal access. The house had new carpet laid in the bedrooms and family room downstairs, and wooden floors laid throughout the hallway and living areas. Bathrooms were tiled and the house fully insulated throughout with a new HRV system installed.

Special touches were added throughout the home to ensure it was in keeping with its history, yet still suited a young family. A window seat was built into the master bedroom for a quiet reading space, and scotia’s and skirting boards were fitted that tied the house together. The original front door was fully restored, as well as the original mechanical door bell and plaque. The height chart in the children’s bedroom was handmade from reclaimed timber removed from the house, and a playhouse was built in the backyard that mimics the style of the house.

Featuring luxury fittings and handmade Italian tiles, Sync oversaw the entire renovation of this stunning home, from the first earthworks and demolition to fitting the latches on the gate.
