Aldgate Alteration & Addition
Located in the scenic hills of Aldgate is this idyllic family home featuring an architecturally designed enhancement that captures significant natural light and creates a meaningful connection to the beautiful surrounds.
The contrast of re-purposed red brick and dark cladding defines the profile of the addition and integrates beautifully with the context of the site.
Boasting a clever blend of modern chic with country style, and perfectly situated on 2,902 sqm, the revitalised home achieves improved flow, function and personality.
Upon entry, we are instantly lured to the stunning picture window at the end of the hall, and the warmth of timber floorboards which flow through the main hall and into the new addition. Clever use of glazing on opposite sides of the hall forms a link between old and new, whilst embracing natural light and external views.
The hallway leads to a delightful open plan living, kitchen + dining space, overlooking the gorgeous tree lined backdrop. Orientation of the shaker profile kitchen ensures ample views whilst cooking or entertaining. Opposite sides of the kitchen contain a visitor’s powder room + WC, and butler’s pantry featuring a splash back window and direct access to the outdoor kitchen.
Wood flooring continues throughout the open plan, and contrasts beautifully against the theme of neutral and dark material palettes. Recycled brick creates a rustic backdrop for the combustion heater and is further accentuated by the recessed tv wall.
The transition to outside is seamless through large stacking glazed doors, providing flexibility for mixed use indoor/outdoor entertaining. Looking back at the property from the luxurious pool area, we appreciate the profile of the rear façade in creating a captivating contrast between nature, land and home, and the continuity of colour palette that references internal expression as well as the
existing house.
The harmony of the home is reflected in detailed design which has been brought to life by Inspiration Homes. Experiencing the home in its entirety is a journey from old comfort to modern luxury, in a space where you can truly immerse yourself in the romance of hills living.
