This substantial renovation transformed a mouldy, long-term rental into a light and airy home reimagined for modern living.
Archisoul’s design introduced a variety of new elements to capitalise on the beachside setting and provide sufficient space for a growing family.
A new deck and sliding glass doors opened the house up to sweeping coastal views to the south, while a new skillion roof allowed for high windows to flood the interior in natural light from the north throughout the day.
A series of louvre windows capture the sea breezes to provide cross ventilation. The result is a steady supply of fresh air and a cooler home during the warmer months, saving energy on air conditioning and creating a more sustainable home.
Sufficient separation between the parents’ retreat and children’s bedrooms affords greater privacy and personal space for both parties. The parents have a peaceful sanctuary and the kids have their own play area.
The first floor contains the home’s public zones, arrayed in an open plan layout, connecting kitchen, dining and living areas in a single, easy-to-navigate space.
Seamless flow between the internal and outdoor areas creates a gentle, natural circulation throughout.
