Wattle Valley House
By DX Architects
Inspired by its leafy context and old world features, Wattle Valley House blends heritage charm with modern functionality in order to provide the clients with a timelessly elegant two storey home.
Our team approached this renovation with sensitivity towards the heritage elements of this contributory property, incorporating contemporary design elements in order to complement the existing building fabric. The original brick façade was carefully restored to its former glory, and the new extension at the rear of the property was designed with a striking steel framed window, seamlessly blending old and new.
Inside, the home was transformed with a modern, open plan layout that is perfect for entertaining. The steel frame doors in the living area open onto a beautiful alfresco entertaining area, providing the perfect space to relax and enjoy the beautiful Australian weather.
The renovation cleverly incorporates heritage features such as high ceilings, ornate cornices, and original timber floors, while adding contemporary touches like sleek kitchen cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances. The result is a beautiful balance of old and new, creating a home that is both elegant and functional.
At DX Architects, we believe that a sympathetic renovation can breathe new life into a heritage building, while retaining its original charm and character. Wattle Valley House is a testament to this philosophy, and an example of our commitment to excellence in design and execution.

About the
Professional
At DX Architects, we design responsive architecture to elevate your life and deliver a home for the way you live. Established in 2007 by its principal architect and director, Daniel Xuereb, we have maintained a boutique scale to our practice which allows you to engage and collaborate closely with our specialised team to ensure that every design detail is resolved collaboratively and efficiently.
With a track record of delivering inner-city residential builds, we are always pushing the design limits that narrow sites typically pose and envisioning a design that responds to the site’s inherent contextual complexity.
We actively challenge constraints, whilst balancing the historical contextual characteristics of your site and its future use.
Your dream project will be created through our tailored design process in partnership with our team of experienced designers and delivered to the highest standard through our established network of consultants, and quality builders.
At our core, we value quality, adaptability, positivity, and creativity, and strive to implement these throughout everything we do.
