Bach to Contemporary Masterpiece
Winning a Gold at the 2023 Master Builders House of the Year Awards for this exceptional renovation, the home went from a modest two-storey 1980’s bach to a contemporary 197sqm masterpiece.
It has undergone a truly remarkable transformation that has caught the attention of experts and enthusiasts alike.
Details
The new owners aimed to preserve the original spirit of this home despite challenges posed by the tight floorplan and aging structure.
The exterior now boasts grandeur with wide stairs, a long balcony, and tall windows, while the red roof pays homage to the original bach.
Inside, the layout was cleverly reconfigured by Reginald Baker from Reginald Baker Archeticts, adding just two meters to the front but creating four bedrooms, a rumpus room, and enhancing the main bedroom.
The open-plan downstairs features inviting timber ceiling beams, blonde forte flooring, custom steel staircase and a kitchen with contrasting black steel columns. The splashback’s sea-green tiles maintain a fresh feel. Despite obstacles, the outcome is clear, an incredibly livable spaces that exude a perpetual holiday vibe.
