Client Brief
The clients wanted to modernise their home by:
-
Creating a larger, open-plan kitchen
-
Improving connection between indoor and outdoor areas
-
Adding a functional breakfast bar for casual dining
-
Building a rear deck to extend the living space
The existing layout felt closed off and did not suit modern family living.
Structural & Design Considerations
Given the age of the home, structural works were a key component of the renovation.
-
Walls were removed to open up the kitchen and living zones
-
Structural solutions were implemented to support the modified layout
-
Openings were carefully set out to align with the breakfast bar and deck connection
-
Works were coordinated to ensure compliance with current building standards
This approach allowed the home to retain its original footprint while delivering a modern layout.
