Cremorne Project
Whole-home renovation including an upper-storey and rear addition, and integrated outdoor living spaces in a heritage conservation area.
Neche was a pleasure to work with and immediately understood what we wanted to achieve. Her guidance and recommendations were invaluable, and her attention to detail gave us real confidence in the direction of the build. We would absolutely work with her again.
Client brief:
Located in a heritage conservation area in the Sydney suburb of Cremorne, this federation home required a renovation to create more functional and spacious living. While the ground floor retained its original charm and period features, typical of the homes of its era, it lacked natural light and connection with the outdoors. An existing upper storey contained an impractical open loft as the second bedroom, accessed via a narrow spiral stair, with no acoustic separation from the kitchen area below.
Our brief was to re-create the upper level with additional floor space, renovate and extend the existing ground floor, and create an outdoor entertaining space connected to the living areas.
Design solution:
Reconstruction of the upper-storey has provided the family with two extra bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-through robe, ensuite and sitting area.
A small extension to the ground floor allowed us to create a light-filled, open-plan living area connected to the new rear patio via large steel doors. The kitchen and dining area are oriented to overlook the patio and garden and include ample additional storage.
The improved layout has filled the home with light and a connection to the outdoors. It now contains three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, a second lounge, study nooks and outdoor living spaces.
