RESIDENTIAL REFURBISHMENT - Richmond

This project is a major refurbishment of a period residence on a 785sqm. corner site in Richmond.

Strategically, there was an attempt to preserve views of the existing fabric as seen from the street and direct as much physical change to the property’s private external and internal areas. This meant that the intended brief could be achieved within the constraints of neighbourhood amenity and townplanning requirements without undue disruption to elements of existing value.

Externally, the works were deliberately subdued to better enhance the eclectic qualities of the original building and to preserve various landscape features including and Irish Strawberry in the front garden. Works to private external areas centred around an internal landscape of hard and soft finishes which relate to a palette of similar materials used internally, along with a swimming pool and outdoor spa.

Internally, the house was thoroughly re-worked using a range of high level finishes to provide for an expansive distribution of contemporary living, working (home office), guest and recreational zones over two levels.
