Evandale
Awarded The 2015 Master Builders Associations Building Award for Excellence in a Renovation and Addition.
This classic 1920’s sandstone villa underwent minor demolition and modernising to the existing footprint and a substantial extension to the rear of the property to create additional floor space to accommodate the need for a large family bathroom together with the open plan living, dining and kitchen areas.
The fresh new contemporary colour palette is cleverly used to maintain continuity into the new extension and outdoor living space right through to the bluestone flagstone pavers including the new ornate verandah tiles.
To ensure the outdoor living space can be used all year round the roofing system features the lovretech Roof system shield the rain or amount of sunlight while entertaining. The new eaves were treated as a design feature as they were lined with western red cedar battens.
The existing residence featuring sandstone walls was treated with re-pointing and plastering where required blending with the new building work. The eaves feature western red cedar battens. The rejuvenated family bathroom maintains its traditional charm and given a contemporary mix of fixtures of open large frameless walk in open shower, recessed tiled shelf, generous overhead mirrored shaving cabinets and complimented with the high quality of sanitary-ware and accessories.
As you enter into the new extension you are greeted with abundance of natural light provided from the large commercial design size windows and Eco Frame sliding doors. The timeless appeal flows into the heart of the home with the Kitchen with the clever use of subway tiles and the beautiful traditional Smeg standalone cooker. Generous storage is provided by the butler’s pantry.
Warmth is created from the beautiful recycled timber featured in the island tops and side and built in shelves, which also flows into the custom cabinetry in the living area and subtle study.
The lower ceiling height over the kitchen and dining creates a level of intimacy whilst cleverly concealing the reverse cycle air-conditioning unit and pipes. The practical use of polished concrete flooring confirms the durability but casual look in the high traffic areas of the Living/ Dining Room.
