The Cornwall Residence stands as a testament to the art of transformation. What was once a modest 60s brick building has been reborn as a vibrant, family-friendly haven, perfectly suited for the needs of a young, growing family. Completed in mid 2023, this remodel and extension project epitomizes simplicity, practicality, and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

 

From its inception, the focus was clear: to craft a space that not only accommodates but celebrates the dynamics of modern family living. Central to the transformation is the concept of connectivity. By seamlessly blending the interior with the exterior, it aims to invite nature into its very core, fostering a sense of harmony and balance. Through the featured corner stacker doors and flush transition to the alfresco, the boundaries between inside and outside dissolve, allowing for a seamless transition which truly immersive living experience.

As you step inside the house, you're greeted by an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. Natural light floods the interiors, accentuating the clean lines and contemporary finishes. Every detail, from the layout of the rooms to the choice of materials, has been carefully considered to enhance functionality without compromising on style.

 

The kitchen, serves as a hub for family gatherings and culinary adventures. The kitchen coexist with the cozy window seating space, creating a space that is equal parts practical and inviting. Adjacent to the kitchen, the open-plan living and dining areas provide a versatile backdrop for everyday living, while large windows frame picturesque views of the surrounding landscape.

 

Step outside, and you'll discover a backyard oasis that beckons to be explored. A sprawling deck offers the perfect spot for alfresco dining and entertaining, while lush greenery and manicured gardens provide a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether it's a lazy Sunday afternoon or a lively gathering of friends and family, the outdoor spaces of the Cornwall House offer endless possibilities for relaxation and recreation. 

For the kids, it provides an endless tactile exploration with nature - stepping stones, expansive garden beds and a large open green.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Cornwall Residence is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and innovation. Despite minimal structural adjustments, the transformation is nothing short of remarkable, demonstrating that even the most modest of buildings can be reimagined into something extraordinary.
