Manningtree Road

The Beginning

Allison and Cameron have a beautiful original Hawthorn home that had a 1980’s extension at the rear, this part of their house needed a face lift and total re design , the brief was to keep the existing footprint and add another level with a balcony overlooking the back yard. The owners vision was to open up the rear of the house to overlook the new swimming pool and entertainment area having a modern but feel using some classical finishes.

The Result

This renovation and extension is highlighted with its rich Australian Spotted Gum Flooring that runs from the front door through to the back living area, it is complemented with the use of natural light using double glazed windows and sharp square set plaster lines. The kitchen is a well-appointed with stunning Marble bench tops and a kitchen design with practical storage and the latest appliances.

The swimming pool and water feature create an oasis of bliss in the middle of an inner city suburb adding to the complete transformation of this project.

The Beginning

Situated in one of Hawthorn’s best streets this original Hawthorn Classic home was in desperate need to be brought back to its original beauty with a modern twist adding a spacious living and entertaining area both inside and out. The owners were passionate about bringing the original footprint back to its original beauty ,using and recreating every timber moulding ,retaining the original doors right through to custom making magnificent ceiling cornice to match the original.

The Result

As you walk through the hallway your eyes are drawn to the 12 foot plus ceilings and decorative arches and mouldings, reaching the end of the hallway the home transforms into a modern master piece. Highlight windows and large bi folding doors submerses the rear rooms with natural light showcasing the modern architecture, the kitchen overlooks the pool and entertaining area that is surrounded with Victorian honed Bluestone paving.
