Special Commendation – Best Renovation/Addition $750,000 – $1M
About the winning project
As is typical for renovations to heritage buildings, the façade, front two bedrooms and hallway have all been retained and restored, while the extension and the addition of a second storey are set back from the street to minimise visibility from the front. The home takes a creative approach in maximising the space at the rear and has achieved a lot within the small confines of the property. Natural light was the guiding principle and was achieved by re-orienting the rear and adding new windows and skylights. A durable and tactile palette of materials runs consistently throughout the home, with pops of steely blues in the kitchen and living areas and soft greens in the bathrooms.
