A clever and contemporary renovation of a traditional 80s abode

MACarthur Renovation & EXTENSION

A young family looked to VDARA to extend and renovate their 80s built home. The aim was clear: A complete makeover offering an architecturally designed home to suit a young family and their modern lifestyle. This beautifully refurbished home is now a true testament to a simple and modern home.


 
 
 
 
 

The dark tiled roof complements the neutral, earthy colour palette of the exteriors, and the new concrete driveway and the roller garage door refreshes the look and feel of this home.

The wooden porch ensembles the contemporary aesthetic of this stunning home. The interiors continue to allure with its spacious, bright and open space as you walk through the classic white entrance door. Boasting a fantastic floor plan, the owners have defined areas to enjoy their space.

 
 
 
 

The Porta timber kitchen oozes style and adds so much freshness to this abode. Simplicity remains at the forefront with white cabinets and pull-out drawers to store kitchen utensils and cookbooks. The curved design on either side of the island bench is painted in Dulux Teal Tree to add a playful pop of colour and bring a sense of richness to this ‘family home’.

Think cosy and comfortable space! This elegant home features a humble, New Zealand designed and manufactured Escea fireplace against the light brick wall panel that fits seamlessly in the living area, so the family can lounge and unwind during the colder months.

 
 
 
 
 
 

The Regal Oak flooring accentuates the kitchen, living and dining space and provides comfort underfoot.

The luxuriously soft and highly insulative wool carpets in each bedroom add a sense of warmth and comfort. Each bedroom has been painted with simple and classic colours to lend a soft and tranquil feel into the rooms.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Our team ingeniously used double-glazed windows throughout this home along with corner sliding stacker doors that opens onto the outdoor deck to offer a pleasant view of the established garden.

This house is a perfect take on a new level of modernity, keeping the feeling of a ‘pleasant home’ intact. Passers-by cannot stop turning heads to this elegant abode.
