Mid-century meets modern – this project demonstrates the potential of a heritage renovation that builds upon the past.

Our clients have lived in Yeronga for 13 years and have always appreciated the serenity and seclusion of the area. They have three active children and lead busy lives, so having a tranquil space to come home to was very important to them. When considering the design for their home, it was critical to increase the size but maintain the original mid-century character that they loved so much.

As the kids were getting older, they needed a functional space to grow into. We achieved this through a layout configuration and the addition of a second-story extension completed with stunning finishes. The kitchen was moved from the back of the home to the front, achieving a connection to the outdoor terrace, garden, and pool. We have also created a quiet parent retreat on the upper level, to capture the river views and breeze. Natural light floods through the home, thanks to generous new openings and reconfiguring of the main living spaces.

The finishes of this home are unique and minimal. Blackbutt timber soffit ceiling at the front of the home and curved dowel feature on the island bench tieing inside and outside together seamlessly, custom screening in the entry and stairs, classic mid-century pink & green feature tiles, and feature brickwork paths are just some of the highlights.

The major renovations and extension encourage a strong relationship between the landscape, as part of daily life, and cater to a large family passionate about their neighbourhood and entertaining.
