This is an example of a small modern living room in Other.

To dwell and establish connections with a place is a basic human necessity often combined, amongst other things, with light and is performed in association with the elements that generate it, be they natural or artificial. And in the renovation of this purpose-built first floor flat in a quiet residential street in Kennington, the use of light in its varied forms is adopted to modulate the space and create a brand new dwelling, adapted to modern living standards. From the intentionally darkened entrance lobby at the lower ground floor – as seen in Mackintosh’s Hill House – one is led to a brighter upper level where the insertion of wide pivot doors creates a flexible open plan centred around an unfinished plaster box-like pod. Kitchen and living room are connected and use a stair balustrade that doubles as a bench seat; this allows the landing to become an extension of the kitchen/dining area - rather than being merely circulation space – with a new external view towards the landscaped terrace at the rear. The attic space is converted: a modernist black box, clad in natural slate tiles and with a wide sliding window, is inserted in the rear roof slope to accommodate a bedroom and a bathroom. A new relationship can eventually be established with all new and existing exterior openings, now visible from the former landing space: traditional timber sash windows are re-introduced to replace unsightly UPVC frames, and skylights are put in to direct one’s view outwards and upwards. photo: Gianluca Maver

Our deck / My hubby is quite the handyman, he completed our deck extension all by himself. It's not quite finished just yet as we have some painting left to do but so proud of him! Photography and Styling Rachael Honner

Inspiration for a medium sized contemporary back terrace in Brisbane with a roof extension.

With a heritage overlay that dictated the original facade was to remain unchanged, the entire renovation had to be invisible from the street. The addition of a second storey, a double height entertaining area, outdoor kitchen, swimming pool and double garage to the rear, all had to be created behind the roof line of the original house, to be hidden from the street.

Our clients here gave us a free reign to redesign their kitchen area by adding a luxurious new modern extension to transform their home. Large bespoke sliding doors open up the new cedar lined extension onto a new patio area blending outdoor style living seamlessly to the rest of their house.
