04 Aug NEW CUSTOM DESIGNED HOUSE RENOVATION AND FIRST FLOOR ADDITION AT QUEENS PARK, EASTERN SUBURBS, SYDNEY BY DOMUS HOMES.
Domus Homes successfully completed this magnificent corner home renovation and first floor addition project at Queens Park in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
Location – Queens Park.
Queens Park adjoins Bondi Junction, Bondi, Waverley, Randwick and Centennial Park and is close to Woollahra, Bondi Beach, Tamarama, Bronte, Edgecliff and Bellevue Hill. Because Queens Park is so central, it is a highly sought after location for residential property. Many opportunities to upgrade in Queens Park still exist.
Before.
This house was a single storey federation cottage desperate for a makeover to justify its dominant corner location. It also comprised inadequate accommodation of three small bedrooms, combined kitchen and dining room and a separate living room for a family of four including two adults and two teenagers.
Client’s Brief.
The clients required three large bedrooms upstairs with an en suite bathroom, walk in robe, main bathroom, laundry, built in cupboards and roof storage. Downstairs accommodation was to comprise a large entertaining kitchen, living and dining room, a teenager rumpus/TV room, a guest bedroom, bathroom, separate guest toilet and a living/movie room. A grand double volume entry area was also provided.
Interior Design
Domus Homes’ interior designer was called in to coordinate the external and internal colours as well as the materials selection for the house. Dramatic colours were chosen for the external façade whilst internal walls were kept light. Seaside influenced colours were used for the materials to the bathrooms and kitchen.
Architectural Design.
Domus Homes architects designed a spacious house with most living areas facing north for maximum light and warmth in winter with eaves and roof overhangs to provide shade in summer. A large graceful double volume entry hall with three hanging feature lights and a wide open staircase welcomes you into the house through a dramatically coloured front door. Skylights are used in the entry lobby, laundry and bathrooms to enhance the light in these rooms in addition to the windows. Council required the existing traditional architectural fabric to be retained being in a Conservation Area, which Domus Homes’ architect skilfully incorporated into the design such as typical federation pitched rooves, overhanging eaves, roof covered balconies and terraces and appropriately sized windows to match the scale of existing windows. Large bifold doors were provided to open onto a large back terrace off the main living area for the inside/outside effect. A wall of floor to ceiling fixed glass panels were also designed into the north facing wall of the living area to maximise not only light, but the feeling of space in an already large room. A large wrap around covered balcony has been provided for the main bedroom.
Due to Domus Homes strategic design, development approval was achieved within weeks from Waverley Council.
