1950's Post War Austerity / Stylish Ground floor extension and renovation

Simple in design but with touches of Art Deco modernism, this 1950’s post war austerity house has been gracefully extended and renovated.

The intention had always been to extend and renovate when the clients purchased the home. The objective was to have a design that would give them the comfort of contemporary living whilst preserving and celebrating the original homes’ features.

Contemporary ground floor extension to create an open plan kitchen, dining and living area, Euro laundry, main bathroom and multi purpose room.

Modification to existing to create an ensuite for master bedroom

Inviting you down its paved path, through a manicured front garden, the red brick house with its white windows framed in delicate tapestry bricks, welcomes you to its front door. Simple in design but with touches of Art Deco modernism, this 1950’s post war austerity house has been gracefully extended and renovated.

The intention had always been to extend and renovate when the clients purchased the home. The objective was to have a design that would give them the comfort of contemporary living whilst preserving and celebrating the original homes’ features. In a beautiful tree-lined street consisting of a full row of bank houses, maintaining the façade to compliment the streetscape was also important.  

The existing floor plan featured a centrally located kitchen, a single bathroom and an old flat roof extension at the rear. Works began with the removal of the old extension, creating a clean slate for the new extended floor plan to be introduced. Importantly, the new extension has been designed for longevity with the same design principles for roof, drainage and foundation as the original home.

The main bathroom which flanked the front master bedroom was converted to an ensuite that was all about beauty and functionality. Travertine tiles in textured earthy tone adorn the floor and walls, a beautiful back drop for the floating timber vanity with its perched white basin and matt black accessories. And just for a touch of decadence, to wind down after a long day, a beautiful free-standing bathtub was added. Velux skylight was factored in the design to provide natural light and ventilation.  

The old kitchen area made way for the new main bathroom, its aesthetics mirroring the style of the ensuite and a modern European Laundry with plenty of storage is hidden discreetly behind bifold doors.

At the rear is the jewel of the home, the kitchen and meals area, a modern design that balances harmoniously with the decorative aesthetics of the lounge and dining area. The sophisticated space features a stunning marble island bench; its delicate veined patterns enhanced by the travertine strip light suspended above. Combined with the warmth of timber joinery, the minimalist design offers a timeless elegance.

Taking full advantage of the northerly aspect, an expansive fixed window and sliding doors were added, the design providing an abundance of natural warmth and light to permeate the back of the home.  Sunlit and with great views of the garden the new home office/ multipurpose room makes working from home or chilling with a good book so much more enjoyable.  

Lastly, Tasmanian oak floorboards and terracotta roof tiles were sourced to match existing resulting in a seamless finish to a home that was given a new lease on life.
