This beautiful estate has undergone numerous transformations over the years and was in desperate need of revitalisation to become a welcoming home for a growing family and their extended gatherings.

​

The house felt tired and dark, with a disorganised floor plan.

​

We began by conceptualising the removal of a dilapidated lookout from the roof, replacing it with a striking light well that floods the front foyer and adjoining rooms with much-needed natural light.

​

The floor plan has been reimagined to update the formal living and dining rooms, as well as the foyer. A master suite has been created within the existing structure, offering views of the beautifully restored front verandah, now featuring new tessellated tiles and curved slate edges.

 

A dedicated kids’ wing has been established, complete with a family bathroom and ensuites for each children’s bedroom. A new staircase leads to the kids' play area, which houses a lovely northern window with built-in bench seating and storage for toys.

 

Another staircase descends to the reconfigured cellar, which now accommodates a wine room and tasting area.

​

The informal living space has been transformed with a new kitchen, butler's pantry, and wine servery bar, seamlessly connecting to the formal dining room. This living area opens onto an outdoor terrace overlooking the newly landscaped backyard.

​

The backyard has been reimagined with a new tennis court, a resort-style pool and spa, and stunning gardens. The old garage has been converted into a three-car garage, complete with an attached pool house that features a guest bedroom, bathroom, pool kitchen, living area, and gym.

​

This home is perfectly positioned to accommodate the family's growth for many years ahead.​
