Description
We amplified the great features of the original house and got playful with referencing them in the contemporary rework. The existing arches of the library and the yellow, pink and green terrazzo of the existing bathroom were repeated thematically. Our clients wanted a high quality and contemporary outcome that nodded to the existing house’s Art Deco glamour, whilst staying within their budget.
Questions and Answers
What was the brief?
How is the project unique?
The design strategies and reorientation of programme and flow contribute to contemporary interior design practices. By using the existing bones of the house and making sense of available space the project leads to a more sustainable outcome for the clients and the environment.
The layering and borrowing of space, light and tone allows for the house to become larger, functional, moodier and a beautiful home to inhabit. We took cues from the history of the house to inform our design response and incorporated contemporary design strategies to update the house to the clients’ living values.
We have used novel colours and shapes to create something new that still relates to the history of the house. The new windows follow best practice and are double glazed and smaller than the exorbitant aluminium slider that was there before, which leads to less energy transfer between the interior and exterior. We added a pergola and an awning to the north facing windows and new energy saving heating, cooling and hot water units were added. Energy saving lights replaced the existing throughout to achieve a more sustainable outcome.
