This worn-down brown-brick home was altered and revamped to maximize its coastal location potential and drastically improve the living quality and experience of the family, through a series of acupuncture alterations and a reskin. Nestled in a quiet street in Beaumaris, this abode was within walking distance of the beach, yet not too distant from the CBD. Our clients wished to renovate and extend their home to create a modern coastal retreat which blossoms within its context. They sought to capture views of the ocean, something the previous home lacked, upgrade the external façade to achieve a timeless look, extend the upper storey with a second living space, and build a plunge pool spa in their front yard to create an entry oasis that welcomed their adult children, family, and friends each time they visited.
