Our Client’s sophisticated personality and love for unique real estate became the starting point for this project. Having traveled the world and acquired a finer taste in life, the heritage/ conservation aspects of this project immediately became a pivot and focus: the delicate balance of modernity and antiquity.

The derelict interior of this single-storey 18th century Victorian house was beautifully transformed with a modern twist. The bedroom on the ground floor was maintained, while the dining/ living room was opened up to the inner court. Bathrooms were retrofitted to modern luxury standards.

With revised urban planning guidelines, we were able to carefully insert a staircase and an upper floor to house two spacious bedrooms, an additional garage at the back, and a home office above it – a generous upgrade for this family of five.

The existing facade of the building (facing the main road) was faithfully conserved, while the new elevations observed a subtly modern expression – creating a unique and unified whole.
