1900s home in Australia gets airy modern concrete update
Quite lovely This early-1900s-built home in Sydney, Australia has undergone a significant expansion that integrates seamlessly into the existing structure. Helmed by local firm CO-AP, the renovation involved ?modernizing? the home as well as creating a two-story concrete addition to the rear of the property.
Maximizing natural light and green space were the project?s biggest priorities and was accomplished by adding a skylit staircase to the center of the house and opening up the extension to the garden by way of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. A spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area are contained in this space A bedroom sits above on the second floor and also opens up to the garden below and a succulent-filled planter by way of a large horizontal window running the length of the room. And while the extension is made from concrete, it?s been finished in a way that doesn?t feel cold. Wood floors, carpeting in the bedrooms, white walls, and plenty of windows brighten and warm up the space, creating a cozy home. The best part of the renovation is that it is largely unnoticeable from the front of the home. Take a look.
