CASE STUDIES
Renovation From Abroad
The overseas purchasers of this home put their faith in LDG to obtain all the necessary building approvals, project documentation and on-site supervision whilst continuing to reside in Singapore. Their purchase was a simple 3 bedroom bungalow on a compact 280m2 site, located in a great street close to Mosman Village, making an ideal investment property. However, during Covid the owners decided to embark on creating their ‘forever’ family home, to be reunited with their extended Australian family.
Downstairs the home was significantly remodelled and extended towards the rear, focusing on remediating the homes poor spatial arrangements, light levels and outdoor amenity. The front living areas were converted into a luxurious parent retreat complete with an ornate fireplace, walk in robe and ensuite. New ‘L shaped’ open plan living areas were placed at the rear, opening onto a large,
covered terrace and pool for the kids. Upstairs additions included an attic style bedroom, bathroom and kids rumpus area, comprising a total floor area of 290m2.
Due to the site being located within a Heritage Conservation Area, this project was primarily executed with Council Approvals, with latter landscaping modifications expediated via a fast-tracked Complying Development Certificate (CDC).
