The brief was to revive this circa 1900 Bluestone cottage, with the addition of a contemporary extension that seamlessly transitioned the home from old to new. Heritage details, such as old bluestone walls, were painstakingly stripped back and repointed, becoming a feature both in the master bathroom and the new open plan living room. The renovated part of the property includes an updated master bedroom with a study that was converted into a walk-in-robe and ensuite, a guest bedroom, bathroom and study.

A hallway featuring new heritage-inspired archways opens out to the light and bright living space, complete with a galley style kitchen incorporating a Caesarstone island bench with waterfall edges, and European laundry. Other noteworthy elements of the project include western red cedar feature panelling to the extension, a reclaimed timber deck, rough-sawn bluestone pavers, extensive landscaping, a new garage, and fencing works.
