Before
Above: Badly in need of TLC, the
dilapidated facade of the original
1900s home shows the damaged,
under-regulation-height veranda.
Above right: With a great deal of
the original home compromised by
rotten wood, the renovation part of
the construction program was more
like a new build. The verandah has
been partly fixed, partly faithfully
replicated, and also heightened.

or, in the case of the verandah, surviving pieces
of balustrade fretwork lacing were copied and
replicated afresh but with extra height to meet
today’s more stringent compliance codes.
Clean, crisp design lines, including a bold red
rectilinear Alucobond form on the rear facade
and a similar element in the side conservatory,
give the new addition a contemporary presence,
both contrasting and complementing the more
ornate lines of the original building.
There are, however, cross-overs between the
heritage home and the modern aspects of the
design. Wood floors run throughout the home,
while all bathrooms, new or modernised, have
classic touches such as a freestanding tub. The
conservatory also has metal grilles that reveal
peaks of the brickwork of the home next door.
In terms of logical room allocation, the guest
suite and ensuite is located on the upper floor of
the heritage building, with a sitting room and
gym on the ground floor. The new building has
the master suite and ensuite on the upper floor,
a living area and connected study on the mid
floor, and kitchen and dining on the ground
floor, opening to the garden. A sunken garage
with landscaped roof was added to the rear lane.
