Lane Cove Federation Charm
Category: House Alterations and Additions - $600,001 - $800,00
This original, 116 year old (c.1908) home, built in a melded Californian Bungalow / Federation style, was a significant home during its time. However, a poorly designed extension (c.1970s) with a deeply sloping roof and a narrow internal layout meant core family living was claustrophobic and riddled with poor traffic flow. The original extension’s perch atop the downward sloping block also resulted in an emotional disconnect with the back garden, pool and entertaining area, resulting in family apathy towards its use.
To combat these issues, MILEHAM designed a new extension which maximises internal family living by way of an expansive kitchen / living / dining area which seamlessly opens onto an outdoor entertaining area, which flows to – and thus enhances family use of – the north-east facing garden and pool.
