Embodying the architect's ethos of 'considered simplicity', Methuen Residence is a modern interpretation of the Californian bungalow that once stood on the harborside site.

At the time architect Daniel Boddam was contacted by the clients of this harborside property, they were deliberating whether to sell and move from their beloved location, renovate the spatially challenged existing Californian bungalow or knock down and start afresh with a complete rebuild.

After an in-depth feasibility study was conducted, the client’s opted for the latter. Fortunately for Daniel, they decided to engage him to design a home that fused the old and the new and provided them with a generous layout that flowed and improved the growing family’s lifestyle.
