The design direction for this renovation is bright and open with light running from the front of the house all the way through to the back.
The main living areas have been positioned to take advantage of the north-facing aspect during the cooler winter period of the southern hemisphere, thereby maximizing the amount of sunlight during that time.
Bypass sliding glass doors will be added from the dining area open to invite outdoor/indoor entertaining.
Placing the kitchen in the centre of the open plan space maximises the homeowner’s involvement in entertainment activity.
A mono-string steel staircase paired with a frameless glass balustrade will replace the current enclosed stairase, further opens the space increasing light penetration.
The entertaining areas will be located on the east side of the area keeping them separate from the more private rooms e.g. study and laundry on the west side
The inclusion of an enclosed media room provides the opportunity for child-friendly space with doors that can be closed off to eliminate/reduce noise from the entertaining areas.
A bench seat at the front door enables the homeowner to deposit shoes and coats and other items before entering.
