Description
The clients came to Hobbs Jamieson Architecture with a home that earlier renovations had left dark, compartmentalised and poorly built. The brief split into two parts: a full renovation of the existing dwelling and the construction of a new secondary dwelling, or granny flat. Across both, the aim was consistent, to open up the interiors, bring a more contemporary feel and work to a classic, natural colour palette.
The existing pool was refurbished, and the new granny flat was positioned to make the external spaces more private while freeing up a more usable parking area than the site had before. Inside, the reworked home is considerably brighter, drawing breezes through the living areas and giving the owners far more control over light and ventilation. A few curves were added throughout, softening what is otherwise a functional plan.
The project covers 350 m2 on a 650 m2 site, arranged over two levels, and completed in 2019.
