This renovation demonstrates the power of design to completely redefine a home while honouring its original form.

Once a dated 1980s brick-and-timber house, this property was transformed into a bold, modern statement through strategic recladding, colour, and spatial refinement. The introduction of dark vertical weatherboards against the retained brick creates striking contrast and a contemporary edge, while an orange feature door adds a vibrant, welcoming focal point.

Inside, once-cramped areas were reconfigured to create a warm and light-filled living space. The conversion of the garage into a comfortable lounge and entry zone shows how rethinking layout can deliver huge lifestyle gains without major structural expansion. Updated joinery, insulation, and finishes throughout bring lasting performance and energy efficiency.

The result is a home that feels new again — confident, cohesive, and beautifully balanced between its past and present.
