CASE STUDIES
BALMORAL BEACH VIEWS
The owners of this home requested a complete transformation of their newly acquired ‘renovators delight with water views’, which was very outdated and the advertised Balmoral Beach water views were completely obstructed by the Spanish mission styled archways that dominated the front facade.
The existing front archways and low roof forms to the ground floor were replaced with an open gabled roof and verandah, to provide a sunny, covered outdoor area that connected the homes interior with the highly prized Balmoral Beach beyond. A full width balcony was also added to the first floor and Council approval obtained for a full sized double garage. The ground floor existing building footprint and swimming pool was retained, but internally everything was completely remodelled to create generous formal and informal living areas and separate guest accommodation. Upstairs the first floor was also remodelled and also extended towards the rear, to provide 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 luxurious bathrooms.
Most of the existing 2 storey dwelling was completely remodelled and re-built, however the project was executed as a renovation, since the existing building envelope and footprint would not have been permissible under current Council planning controls.
