TEST OF TIME

A FINESSED FLOOR PLAN, CONSIDERED PALETTE AND TREASURED FURNISHINGS GIVE THIS HISTORICAL HOME A MESMERISING MAKEOVER

PAYING RESPECTS
Homeowners Jacinta and Ramon were drawn to their circa 1900 heritage home, steeped in history. Their respect was always at the forefront during their renovation of the property, which included a rear extension. "The renovation is so considered. The ceiling heights are the same throughout the house. The dimensions of the back rooms almost perfectly reflect the dimensions of some of the original rooms," says Jacinta.

HALLWAY
The central hallway used to end at a door to the laundry with no view, so the couple briefed their architects (Templeton Architecture) to "bring the garden inside", which they did by installing an arched feature window, mirrored by a set of glass panelled doors by Creative Windows, powder-coated in Haymes Minimalist 1, also used on the walls. A Fenton & Fenton console is an elegant addition in this light-filled space..
