Description
This beautiful old house on Sydney's north shore was already renovated. It was a big family home, with a big pool, a big kitchen and a long deck, but because the rear living areas were faced South the rooms felt dark.
The family wanted to add a rumpus room for the kids that was sunny and to enlarge the deck so they could lounge and live there throughout the year. There were some basic functionalities that needed to be addressed.
We converted the existing garage space and enlarged it to make a mud room, a bathroom for the rumpus and pool and a new light filled rumpus room. the architecture of the house complimented the existing house.
we opened up the deck to create more space for a lounge as well as a dining area.
we loved that some small tweaks to this beautiful home added to the family's day to day life.
Questions and Answers
Who are the clients and what's interesting about them?
The client's were a family of two parents with busy jobs, three school aged children and a dog. it was a typical busy household.
What were the key challenges?
We were looking for natural light, the existing rear living areas were dark and due to the orientation and adjacent houses it was hard to bring direct light into the home. Using 3d modelling we could see where skylights and window location would help and found a way to bring the light in.
