About the winning project
Originally an Art Deco style home, the decision was made to knockdown rebuild after working closely with the client and architect. The clients’ brief was to create a stunning family four-bedroom home. With a limited block size, the floorplan is simple yet effective and opens with a large Kitchen and living area to the rear. Recreating the Californian bungalow facade was paramount to fit into the neighbourhood character, but to the rear, there was a bit more creativity and play with more modern architectural elements. The conventional centred hallway with rooms off to either side was the most effective use of space. The advantage of the property backing immediately onto a playground and reserve meant the home could occupy more of the block, making space for an elevated alfresco.
