Although the home still held character filled interiors, it needed an overhaul. The owners wanted to create a modern family home to suit the present and future needs of a growing family, whilst optimizing the opportunities that the existing house and site offered.

The home was completely stripped & gutted along with a partial rear demolition of both floors. A new basement was then built and a rear extension was added to the ground & first floor. Special attention was given also to the integration of the small rear northern yard space as an integral component of the family living zone. The outdoor kitchen, terrace with opening louvre roof, swimming pool – all provide additional function and activity for the family’s general living and amenity.

Transforming this home which had been butchered throughout the years, back to its original character with a livable contemporary extension was rewarding and has shaped this family home into a wonderful place to live.
