West End Rd Revisited

The original bungalow, though dated and backwards in its planning, had a great deal of potential to create a substantial family home. The challenge lay in re-designing the space to maximise sun and views, making the most of the south-facing pool area and linking this with the predominantly north-facing living. A timber-clad modernist box, extruded from the rear of the bungalow, incorporates the master suite including bathroom, second living room, office and private deck. This cantilevers over the back deck area, creating a covered poolside space, perfect for entertaining and providing relief from the summer sun. A neutral material and colour palette allows the family to bring colour and interest into the home with their furniture and objets d’art.
