In keeping with the local heritage protection guidelines, we renovated this entire 1930s Californian Bungalow by restoring its original features and adding a contemporary open-plan living and dining space.

During the renovation, we subdivided the block and constructed a 3.5m parapet wall at the rear for a two-storey new home (our Chatham Street project).

Highlights:

• New open-plan living and dining area with a terrazzo look concrete floor

• Custom-designed kitchen with a servery window

• 3.2m ceilings throughout, including the contemporary extension

• Restoration of the original jarrah floorboards, stained Japan black

• New timber windows with locally made leadlight glass

• New architraves, skirting, lighting, curtains, fixtures, and fittings throughout

• New ensuite and walk in robe to create a master suite

• New brick pier carport and fence
