Wattle Residence.

Wattle Residence renovation and extension is a beautifully executed blend of modern design principles and natural elements, creating a seamless balance between comfort, functionality, and style.

The project’s careful design touches and smart use of space bring new life to the existing home while honouring its original character. 

The thoughtful conversion of an existing room to incorporate an ensuite and walk-in robe for the main bedroom enhances the home’s liveability, while the main bathroom’s full renovation brings a fresh and modern feel. By retaining the essence of the original design but updating it to meet contemporary needs, the home maintains its charm while embracing modern convenience. 

The demolition of the outdated 70’s extension was a bold but necessary decision, paving the way for a much more open and light-filled layout. The L-shaped design maximises natural light, and the focus on integrating the swimming pool into the living and dining areas creates a peaceful, flowing connection between the indoors and outdoors. It’s the perfect setup for both entertaining and everyday family life. 

The new kitchen is a standout, designed with entertaining in mind. The large island and functional butler’s pantry not only enhance storage and usability but also provide a natural flow for the space. The addition of a mudroom, laundry, and powder room is practical, ensuring that all the spaces function as efficiently as possible. 

The feature stone fireplace with a custom concrete hearth is another highlight, creating a cozy focal point in the living room while also offering additional seating. The new timber flooring further enhances the home’s natural, relaxed vibe, with the timber slatted walls adding texture and depth, seamlessly tying together the neutral colour palette. 

The rear extension’s clever reconfiguration allows for an unobstructed view of the pool, optimizing both the visual appeal and the serene atmosphere of the space. The design of the home has a beautiful flow, with spaces like the study and powder room providing privacy, while the open-plan living areas foster connection and interaction. 

Overall, the Wattle Residence renovation manages to strike the perfect balance between modern design and timeless natural elements. It’s a home that offers both beauty and practicality, making it an inviting and functional space for everyday living.
