Cremorne House

A 1930s traditional house, with its timeless design and warm character, underwent a thoughtful alteration to enhance its connection to the rear yard. The focus was on creating a family home that exuded warmth and careful consideration while reimagining the floor plan.

The alteration project aimed to blend the charm of the original 1930s design with modern elements that would cater to the needs of a contemporary family. Deuchrass Architects carefully considered the layout to ensure a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, making the rear yard more of an extension of the living area.

By opening up the rear facade with large glass doors and highlight windows, natural light flooded the interior spaces, creating a sense of airiness and connection to a new terrace. The redesigned floor plan included a spacious kitchen that overlooked the backyard, allowing the family to interact while preparing meals or entertaining guests.

The traditional elements of the house were preserved and integrated into the new design, adding a sense of history and character to the updated space. Materials such as timber flooring, exposed brick, and heritage fixtures were carefully restored and highlighted to maintain the timeless appeal of the home.
