This much-loved family home is a celebration of old and new. It's been in the family for four years shy of half a century. The empty-nester septuagenarians decided it was time to reinvigorate their home. Enter award-winning FIGR. architecture studio and the rest, as they say, is history.
The renovated home showcases a series of well-appointed spaces that offer clever connectivity and seamless transitions from one space to the next. FIGR. architecture studio's Michael Artemenko and Adi Atic have created an artful infusion of modern design elements that work well with what remained to create a beautiful family home. The client's brief was to construct a transient multigenerational dwelling. "There was a desire to prioritise modern comforts and create a series of adaptable spaces that could easily be transformed for a growing number of grandchildren," they say.
The homeowners have a deep sense of community and love of family. They wanted to invest in the architecture of their home and remain in their current locale. Through innovative design and flexible living spaces, FIGR. has designed a home that can adapt to the clients' changing needs.
The footprint of the house is largely unchanged, with a few modifications to bathrooms and kitchen. A walk-in robe was also added. The layout is made up of main bedroom, ensuite, multipurpose room/study, lounge, laundry, pantry, kitchen, dining, living, bedrooms one and two and bathroom, along with a covered outdoor and entertainment area.
