Lockleys House

The project

Architects Ink reworked a large gentleman's bungalow in Lockleys, Adelaide, that had been weakened by many poor alterations, completed in 2019. The 584 m2 house needed little extra space; the problem was how its rooms worked.

The renovation removed earlier additions to let daylight and winter sun into the living spaces and improve the outdoor areas. Inside, concrete ceilings and columns, a marble kitchen island, walnut joinery and a sculpted stone basin create a calm, solid palette.
