villas & cottages
In character In this extensive renovation, an old lean-to was demolished to make way for a spacious family living area and a terrace modelled on a traditional sun porch It’s often easy to see at first glance the changes to an older villa or bungalow when living areas are opened up to the outdoors. But there can be a lot more going on behind the scenes that makes a renovation truly magical. This traditional villa, built around the turn of the last century, had plenty of charm, with its gabled roof, bay windows and beautiful return veranda. But a leanto housing the kitchen and family area at the rear was well past its use-by date, says architect Jane Aimer of Scarlet Architects.

Preceding pages, facing page and left: A major renovation has transformed this traditional villa, making it better suited to modern lifestyles. Scarlet Architects redesigned the rear of the house, opening it up to a large covered deck, with steps down to a swimming pool.

Above: With its bay window, long window seat and painted wood ceiling, the deck area references a traditional sun porch.

“There were other rooms upstairs that had been added, along with dormer windows, at some stage. But these were not working very well either.” Aimer says the owner wanted to open up the house to a new landscaped pool area. But moving an existing garage in the rear yard was the first challenge. “We needed this area for the pool, and we didn’t want to compromise the character of the house by putting a garage at the front,” she says. “So we decided to excavate an area beneath the house at one side

to accommodate a double garage with internal stairs. This was the starting point – it freed up the outdoor space.” The architect says the entire lean-to was then demolished and the rear of the house rebuilt. The walls were pushed out slightly to provide a bigger kitchen, dining and family room, and a large covered deck was introduced. “With its long window seat and painted tongue-and-groove ceiling, the deck is reminiscent of an old-fashioned sun porch. It faces north, so it gets the sun

all day, and it has lovely views of mature trees and Mt Eden.” The extension features similar painted weatherboards to the original house, and has matching bay windows. It also has large bifolding windows in the kitchen that open out to the deck, creating a flush serving hatch for the barbecue area. “We kept the kitchen in the same place, as the owner liked the way this worked,” says Aimer. “But everything else changed.” The new kitchen has a large island that is almost a square. This provides plenty

of bench space for food preparation and serving. The front of the island features backlit Opalite translucent laminated glass that helps to bounce light around the room. The large pocket doors concealing the pantry are also frosted glass. These can be pulled right back, so the entire pantry is open to the kitchen. To add visual definition to the rear wall of the kitchen, the high bank of cabinets around the tall appliances features a dark-stained timber veneer, while the rest of the cabinets have a white lacquer finish.

“The stairs from the garage come up into the house on the other side of the pantry wall, so the access is a lot easier than it was with an external garage,” the architect says. “The owners virtually arrive straight into the kitchen.” A long living room in the original part of the house was opened up to the family room. Formerly, it was a closed-off room that opened to a side passage from the front door. “We also widened the hallway near the kitchen so the space doesn’t seem so

cramped,” says Aimer. “It has become a much more free-flowing interior, which is better suited to a young family. At the same time, however, the house still retains its traditional elements – there are formal rooms off either side of the entry passage.” Further major changes were made to the upper level, which now houses a new master suite, two bathrooms, another bedroom, home office and storage area. “Essentially, this became a three-storey renovation,” says the architect. “We created a new wider stairway to the upper
level, so it is more in keeping with the rest of the house. We also added a new gable end and dormer windows for the master bedroom, which echoes the look of the original gables.� The landscaping is another major feature of the remodel. Wide concrete stairs now lead down to a swimming pool with an integrated spa pool. A fixed louvre fence along the side boundary is angled to provide a glimpse of the lush greenery on the other side, while still providing privacy for both properties.

Shining light A California bungalow keeps its traditional character, but gains a contemporary addition, lots of natural light and plenty of space for all the family Above: Built in 1928, this California bungalow retains its traditional charm, despite an extensive renovation that has more than tripled the size of the house. Original features include the leadlight windows, front door, porch and roofing tiles. The renovation was designed by one of the owners, Angie Florence of Space For Life, with Michael Mu of M2 Building Design & Drafting.

The truth will out – that could well be the new mantra for a renovation. It’s all about architectural honesty. The new is seldom disguised as old, and the old is appreciated for its traditional character. In fact, so strong is this belief that even local government regulations are stipulating clear divisions between traditional structures and contemporary additions in
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
areas where there is a heritage overlay or protection. Designer Angie Florence of Space For Life says an addition planned for her own family’s 1928 California bungalow needed to be a stark contrast to the original house. “Not only did it need to read as a modern addition, it also had to be hidden from the street,” she says. “We were able to have just a very small
part of the top of the structure visible above the roof of the house, but it’s a subtle element that is not too noticeable.” Florence says the house retains its traditional street appeal – even the original tiles remain on the roof. The existing leadlight windows, including those in the front door and sidelight were restored, and the high ceilings were retained right through the house.
“We enlarged the existing living room slightly by taking space from the room behind, and this has become the formal living room,” the designer says. “The dark-stained European oak flooring continues up one wall.” White shelving and white walls contrast the dark wood and a coffee-toned feature wall. And with brown and white leather furniture, the
room introduces the bold, monochromatic palette that features throughout the house. The master suite, opposite the living room, has also been enlarged. A bedroom and bathroom behind were absorbed to gain space for an ensuite bathroom and dressing room. But the key feature that unites the front of the house with the extension at the rear is the extra-wide hallway.
“This is one of the most important features of the house,” says Florence. “I wanted to be able to open the front door and see right down the length of the house and out to the lawn at the back. “I don’t like houses to feel enclosed, and fortunately the passage was already high and wide, so it was easy to make the whole house light and airy. We were also able to keep the

entire circulation area on the same level, so it flows well.” Although scarcely able to be seen from the street, the addition features two storeys, with family living areas on the ground floor and four bedrooms and a children’s rumpus room on the first floor. “We even managed to have 3.3m-high ceilings on the lower level, which match the bungalow ceilings,” Florence

says. “On the upper level, they are a respectable 2.7m.” The ceiling height reflects the designer’s desire for a light-filled interior – the addition resembles a glass pavilion that opens right up to the outdoors at the rear and overlooks a lap pool at the side. “A home needs to have breathing space,” Florence says. “And a green outlook is a crucial part of this.”
With this in mind, the designer introduced vertical gardens to the wall beside the pool and another wall outside the master bathroom. “There is a leafy outlook from every room in the house,” she says. “The family room benefits from the reflected light of the pool as well, which throws rippling patterns onto the ceiling. Being in this room is just like being outdoors.”
Light is also reflected in the grey smoky mirror glass splashback in the kitchen, as is the vertical garden opposite. The kitchen cabinetry is a woodgrain laminate, chosen to contrast the white walls and white reconstituted stone benchtops. The island, which has a single waterfall side, provides a large work space, serving and casual eating area. It also provides plenty of

Michael Mu, from M2 Building Design, who worked on the design, took care to ensure the addition would not look too monolithic on the exterior. Consequently, the materials used on the upper level were varied. The main

extending down to the ground. “We have positioned a wall between the house and the bundary at this end of the pool,” says Florence. “This is made from toughened glass with a privacy film to screen the master bathroom on the other side. This room has an entire wall of glass, so we can look out to the vertical garden and a pond beside the house while showering.”
Not surprisingly, the house is well equipped for entertaining. Special lighting features include blue LED lights in the pool, spot lighting on the vertical gardens, and individual lights on the trees along the perimeter of the property. There are digital dimmers and LED lights throughout the house, and the entire system is automated, making it easy to change the ambient settings.

Modern outlook Extensive renovations have revitalised these homes, and captured the essence of their design heritage
mid-century makeovers
Design integrity intact Against a Mid-century Modern backdrop, this 1960s house has undergone a major transformation that respects the original architecture, but tailors it for contemporary living Mid-century Modern architecture can be a perfect fit for the way we live today, but there’s no doubt the original examples of such homes built in the ’50s and ’60s do benefit from an extensive makeover. This Southern California house, in a prestigious Beverly Hills location, had a Mid-century Modern decor, but it wasn’t designed to maximise the spectacular views from the property. Developer Izzet Levi Uzyel of DIJ Group, working with Xten Architecture, says he took on the project because of the
26
views and the distinctive architecture of the Trousdale neighbourhood. “We envisioned creating a home with vast walls of glass opening to a pool – a home that would epitomise the true California indoor-outdoor lifestyle,” he says. “At the same time, great consideration was given to the exterior architecture, to make sure it would blend with the existing Mid-century Modern architecture in the neighbourhood. It was very important that this house fit the mould while creating a new-generation family home.”

Building contractor Jon Mut of Boswell Construction says the changes began with the exterior and the street elevation. “The original house had many small windows facing the road, which gave the facade a rather chopped-up look. We removed all of these, creating a single large circular window that better reflects the Mid-century Modern style. The new plastered exterior was also extended to enclose a gated entry, and the entire house painted white. With new landscaping, it has a much more dramatic presence.”
The remodelled forecourt also provides a strong sense of arrival. The design team created a highly symmetrical entry to the house, over a linear pond. The facade incorporates a substantial beam that crosses in front of the house. The space between the beam and the building has the same dimensions as the pond, which brings sunlight right down to the water. “We introduced a fully glazed entry, so there is a direct sightline to the view, right through the house and out across the pool terrace on the other side,� says Mut.

On the inside, several structural walls were removed to open up the space and provide a more flowing interior. “The existing house had a lot of very confined small spaces – it was very compartmentalised, which didn’t fit with the way most people like to live today.” Arched openings, an ornate fireplace, wood panelling and a parquet floor were also banished, and the living room was stepped down from the entry to create an airy, spacious living space. “We added powdercoated aluminium
screens to divide the living area from the entry,” says Mut. “These are double screens with custom patterns cut by a laser water jet. They are backlit with LED lighting, so they are especially decorative at night.” But one of the biggest changes is the improved connection with the outdoors. The original 4.5m opening to the pool terrace was extended to 8.2m. Huge pocket doors slide out of sight within the walls, so the living room appears to be part of one enormous terrace.
“The weather in Southern California allows us to enjoy the outdoors all year round, so the entire house was reoriented to maximise this,” the builder says. “We also painted all the walls and ceilings white so they would reflect the light and reinforce the resort ambience.” Even the kitchen was moved from its original position at the rear of the house. This room is now at one end of the living space, and the entire corner opens up to the sunny terrace and the pool. “We chose a galley-style kitchen with
a long island and bar stools,” says Mut. “It’s a very social space, well suited to entertaining. A short feature wall separating the kitchen from the dining room is clad in porcelain tiles that resemble natural stone. These were chosen to resist the heat given off by the double-sided fireplace in the wall. Having this fireplace means these two rooms are not completely isolated – you can catch a glimpse of what’s happening on the other side.” But it’s not just the public areas that were the focus of attention for the remodel.

The master suite was also repositioned to the front of the house. Here again, there is an extra-wide opening to the terrace, with pocket doors sliding out of sight. “We wanted to minimise the visual impact of the doors throughout the house,” says Mut. “The goal was always to concentrate on the view.” Pocket doors also feature in the new master bathroom, which is an extension to the original house. Two 1.2m-wide openings provides slices of the view, one towards the pool and the other providing
a more distant vista. This opening is directly aligned with the door to the bedroom, so the owners can see right through the bathroom and out the other side. However, the pièce de résistance of the marble-lined bathroom is the opening right beside the pool. “The owners can get up in the morning and literally dive off the doorstep and into the pool,” says Mut. Other features of the bathroom include a sculptural, freestanding tub and an open, wet-area shower.

Finding an older home in its original state can be a lot more exciting than walking into one that has been upgraded so it’s scarcely recognisable from the original. The difference is all in the architecture, as this project illustrates. Owners Victor and Janice Maree, long-time devotees of the Mid-century Modern style, were thrilled to find this good example of the
genre in its original condition. “The house, designed by architect Linton Reynolds of Woodfall & Reynolds in 1962, is a classic,” says Victor Maree. “But it would have been quite experimental in its day, being one of the first limestone houses to be built in Melbourne. “Although some elements had become run-down over the years, the house had not

lost any of its integrity and was in sound condition.” Maree says the proportions of the house set it apart from many modern reproductions. “For example, the ceilings are an ideal height, neither too high nor too low. Natural light has been introduced very intelligently – the little high windows are perfectly proportioned. The house also has a wonderful simplicity that

Nothing is contrived.” Maree says the pair set about renovating the property with the help of interior designer John Bastiras, who is a long-time friend and the owner of Luke Furniture. Bastiras has a particular knowledge and passion for this era. “Right from the outset, this project was about authenticity and remaining true to the spirit
of the house,” says Maree. “And because the original house was built all at once, we decided the renovation should not be piecemeal, but also undertaken in one go.” Visible changes to the exterior included new landscaping to accentuate the entry, and a glossy red paint finish to the existing meranti timber cladding at the front. “This timber could not
be restored easily to a good finish, so we chose to paint it instead,� says Maree. “The post-box red is a popular Midcentury accent that reappears inside the house, albeit in more subtle ways. Here, it defines the meranti timber box that wraps around to form the entry on one side, and a wall in the carport on the other side.� On the interior, the design had to be unobtrusive, and as

close to the original architecture as possible. The existing cork and resin flooring had petrified and cracked over 50 years, so this was replaced with bluegrey ceramic tiles that replicate the colour of the original bluestone that clads a wall in the living room and forms the paving outside. “The tiles create the same effect as the bluestone, but are not an imitation,” says Maree.

To simplify the interior and remove any suggestion of clutter, Bastiras designed custom American oak cabinetry – the same wood veneer appears in the built-in cabinets throughout the house. The veneer matches the colour of the original meranti timber that still features on a freestanding wall in the kitchen, and the front of the peninsula, which was left intact.
“The new joinery has a very minimal design, so it almost fades into the background – I wanted it to look as though it had always been there,” says Bastiras. “The simple backdrop also made it easier for the owners to personalise the house with their furniture, artworks and homewares.” The American oak veneer appears on kitchen cabinets, cantilevered cabinets in the
living room, and a modern unit in the dining area. The veneer is also used for shelving, bookcases and stair balustrades. Maree says the balustrades were originally a Canadian pine that didn’t work visually. “The new balustrading, designed by John, includes solid American oak handrails, and is much more sturdy.� An extensive collection of Mid-century Modern

designer furniture enhances the link with the past. But the Marees and Bastiras have also included appropriate modern furniture, such as a B&B Italia sofa, which is teamed with a classic Eames chair and Noguchi coffee table. Wherever possible the existing moulded square light fixtures were left intact, further enhancing the authenticity. The visual connection with
the outdoors that is so much a part of the house has been reinforced with the renovation. “We love the large doors that open up the entire living room and dining room to the central courtyard,” says the owner. “With such extensive glazing, this has never really felt like a small home.” The original courtyard was retained, but refreshed with a new fountain water feature.

Mix of ingredients Future trends for kitchen design were clearly illustrated at this year’s Eurocucina International Kitchen Furniture Exhibition – kitchens take on a more organic look, with layered surfaces in woodgrain, stone and glass Back to nature, with a modern twist. That was a key theme to emerge at the 2014 Eurocucina International Kitchen Furniture Exhibition in Milan. The move towards a more organic look was almost unanimous, with kitchens mixing materials in neutral palettes, with the occasional pop of colour. Mid-tone timber finishes juxtaposed with pure white cabinetry created a fresh, open feel. This also provided a canvas that could be easily customised using appliances, tiles and decorative elements, such

as pendant lighting. Exposed brick, raw concrete and subway tiles were all used to bring a little industrial richness to otherwise sleek cooking and entertaining areas. These trends all highlight the need for appliances to offer more than a cookie cutter approach to styling. Brands such as Smeg stood out for their pure approach to design. Partnering with some of the world’s leading architects and designers has meant Smeg has a history of producing appliances that are not only efficient, but also offer distinctly different

aesthetics – an essential ingredient to attaining a customised kitchen design. Smeg Classic underbench ovens and the matching compact ovens and cooktops all work well with white lacquer, timber and subways tiles. The kitchen shown above, by the Melbourne-based Molecule architectural practice, is a perfect example, says Molecule director Richard Fleming. “The clean lines of the Smeg oven and cooktop were a perfect match for the minimalist, utilitarian-inspired kitchen aesthetic. Our client has a passion for
Mid-century interiors, and the way the appliances appear to ‘hover in time’ is very appealing.� The Smeg Classic Thermoseal oven, designed by Guido Canali, features enduring aesthetics and a comprehensive set of cooking functions, from fan assisted and super cook to static bake and grill. With a large 79-litre capacity, the oven provides ample room to meet entertaining needs. The second kitchen, above, combines several on-trend elements, with its sleek white cabinets, raw woodgrain cladding
and understated pendant lights. This time the Smeg Classic freestanding cooker and concealed rangehood were selected to create a focal point, with semi-commercial styling in stainless steel.

historical renovations
Out of the past Contrast and balance are watchwords for these makeovers, which combine traditional character with modern-day functionality
Lovely bones This renovation connects with the rugged industrial aesthetic of the building There are two distinct design approaches to an historic makeover – one is to celebrate period elements and sweep the rest aside; the other is to emphasise the integrity of the entire building. This renovation, in what was once the second floor of a Brisbane woolshed, frees up the good bones of the original structure built in 1934. Builder Kris Johnson says the owners wanted the reworked apartment to have the semi-industrial character of a New York loft. However, the interior clutter of an earlier renovation first had to be swept aside. “This space has had several lives – it was a car park for a time, and in 1994 it was fitted out as a unit, with carpeted floors, white walls and a standard kitchen. Our work began by stripping the space back to the studs, retaining the original spotted gum beams and joists. We kept the existing windows, too, and sandblasted the brickwork to restore its bright hue. “We then introduced distressed wood floors as a character feature that would also call to mind the building’s origins. This was a major undertaking. For its role as a car park, concrete floors had been introduced throughout. We fixed battens to this surface and laid the French oak planks over that. To achieve the semiindustrial look, the wood was scraped by hand, stained and finally waxed.” With partition walls removed and the rustic floor installed, the apartment achieves the airy, loft-like aesthetic required. The owners also wanted an industrial-level kitchen as part of the open-plan space. Johnson specified a splashback and benchtop in stainless steel, and cabinetry in charcoal lacquer with a matte finish. “The steel contrasts the rugged brick and wood, while the island has a foot in both camps. One end is supported by a cabinet and the other by a leg of solid spotted gum. The benchtop is in 20mm-thick Calacatta marble wrapped over a honeycomb panel to look like a 100mm slab.

A custom timber lattice screen stands at the end of the perimeter benchtop, softening the connection between the metal and wood elements, notably the timber floors, table and the spotted gum structural features. It also screens kitchen clutter. A central ceiling beam and furniture placement helps demarcate the living area from the adjacent dining space. The apartment has two double bedrooms, and a smaller bedroom that doubles as a study. All three are located down a short corridor that the builder aligned with the windows. These spaces also have raw brickwork, wood beams and soaring ceilings. “Units in this part of Brisbane have become more sought after, but the size of the bedroom and bathroom in the master suite were not in keeping with current expectations,” Johnson says. “In response, we took out the dividing wall and merged the two rooms to make one larger space – the sculptural freestanding tub and vanity are now on show to the bedroom. However, not everything is out in the open. You turn left at the vanity and left again to access the hidden toilet cubicle or veer right behind the vanity wall to reach the shower.” The understated interior complements the rugged, semi-industrial shell. The brickwork has touches of purple, as well as red, and the darker colour is picked up in the kitchen’s stainless steel surfaces and again on the bedroom accent walls and rugs. Floor-to-ceiling drapes accentuate the height of the rooms and these also have hints of grey. Industrial-style glass pendants feature above the kitchen island, the dining table and in the bedrooms. These are hand blown, with no two exactly the same. “Being a corner apartment with five large windows, the finished loft-space is light-filled and welcoming,” says Johnson.

Slice of history The restoration of this traditional Singapore shophouse has recaptured its original character and charm, and created a light-filled family home Every era produces its own defining architectural style, but there’s no doubt that some periods leave a more enduring heritage than others. The traditional Singapore shophouse evolved from such a period. Built between 1900 and 1940, shophouses were best known for their spectacular ornamentation. Not surprisingly, these buildings are now highly sought after, and many are part of an exclusive residential enclave in Singapore, known as the Blair Plain Residential Historic District.
This shophouse in the precinct was one of three that came up for sale together. At some time in the past, it had been gutted and drastically altered from its original state to create offices. Architects Diego Molina and Maria Arango of Ong&Ong, who were commissioned to design a major renovation, say the building had retained most of its original facade, but very few of the other traditional shophouse features. “The ground floor was a poorly lit single space that stretched all the way to
Facing page: Decorative cornices, capitals, fanlights and enamel-finished dado tiles enhance the character of this traditional Singapore shophouse, which is located in an historic precinct. The building, formerly converted into office space, was extensively remodelled by architects Diego Molina and Maria Arango of Ong&Ong to create a bright and airy family home. Above: The new front door opens directly into the large open-plan family living space. The hardwood floor and new timber beams reinforce the traditional look.

the back of the site,” says Molina. “It was not suitable for residential use. The traditional roof structure, material and design had also been significantly altered. And there were two office doors in the front facade, rather than a single entry.” The architect says these two doors were removed and replaced with one painted door with a double-leaf wood panel. This has the ornamental details of the late shophouse period when the house was built – in accordance with the URA’s conservation facade guidelines.
54
Double casement wood panel windows were reinstated with vertical iron bars in front of the timber-framed glass screen. And painted rectangular transoms with carved panels and frames were restored. “The second-floor facade was also returned to the late shophouse style,” says Maria Arango. “It now has longer double French windows with operable louvres, carved timber posts and rail balustrades, and segmented, arched fanlights with clear glazed panels. The existing moulded cornices, composite column capitals

and decorative facade reliefs were also repaired carefully and restored. The shiny enamel-finished dado tiles on the facade are another link to the Peranakan roots of the shophouse.” The architects worked with the local conservation authorities to restore the roof to its correct design, reinstating the original unglazed tiles that were found on site. One structural change was possible, however – a lantern roof with a skylight was introduced to bring more light into the centre of the house.

The stairs also help to define the separate living and dining areas. A new internal courtyard and the kitchen lie beyond the dining room.

“This needed to be a light-filled family home,” says Molina. “So we split the house into two volumes, creating a connecting courtyard that allows sunlight to stream in, and lets breezes ventilate the interior naturally. With a green wall to one side, a young tree in the opposite corner, and the floor covered entirely in carpet grass, the setting forms a charming indoor garden where the children can play. “The green space is the visual focus of the ground floor, and because there are no partitions, the garden can be enjoyed from

the kitchen at the back and from the living area at the front.” Molina says because the client is both a family man and an avid cook, it was important for him to be able to interact with his children at play in the garden, while he is working in the kitchen. “The seamless transition between the living areas makes this possible.” The different spaces are clearly defined, however. A dramatic, curving staircase separates the living and dining areas, and is another point of illumination.

Sunlight streams in from the skylights in the lantern roof directly above. While the stair has a bold, sculptural contemporary form, its simplicity ensures it does not detract from the original shophouse features. “The client was insistent on bringing back the home’s old-world charm wherever possible,” says Arango. “New timber beams were installed in the ceiling of the ground floor, and also beneath the roof, to evoke the traditional character.” The second floor of the front part of

the house features two bedrooms, one at the front and the other at the back, with a bathroom between. White-painted bookshelves enliven the passage between these two rooms. “We added a balcony to the bedroom at the rear of the house, and introduced a timber screen for privacy,” Arango says. “The screen functions as a dividing wall, and is in line with conservation restrictions that would not permit a solid wall.” The top floor accommodates the master bedroom, which is separated from
the master bathroom by the staircase. “Despite the fact that these two rooms are separated by what appears to be a communal space, they have a strong sense of connection,” says Arango. “They both have soaring ceilings with timber beams, and the long limestone vanity top extends right along the wall to form a desk area beside the bedroom.” The living wall of greenery reaches right up to this level, so there is an attractive garden outlook, which the owners can enjoy while bathing.

Compromises are often made when you buy a property, but accentuating the positive and changing the negative can give you the home you always wanted. The owners of this house loved the open, flowing layout of the interior, but they weren’t keen on the heavy, traditional Mediterraneanstyle cabinetry in the kitchen, says designer Krista Watterworth Alterman. “The existing kitchen was also small, lacked the required functionality, and there was no sense of symmetry,” she says. “And even though large windows frame the room, it felt like a dark, cluttered space.” Alterman says her clients wanted a postmodern look, without sacrificing comfort. The kitchen needed to be fresh, vibrant and contemporary, and have plenty of storage. Alterman’s solution was to utilise every inch of space to make the kitchen larger. A multifunctional island was introduced, providing a generous work space, casual dining area and a place for family and friends to gather and socialise. “We chose dark-stained sapele wood for the cabinetry, so the rest of the palette is light and airy,” says the designer. “The doors are sleek and clean lined, as are the benchtops. Those on the perimeter feature low-maintenance engineered stone, but for the island we chose a stained concrete top, which provides the urban undercurrent the owners desired.” Alterman says the main challenge was marrying the traditional elements of the home with the contemporary furniture and cabinetry. “I love to wed rustic with minimalist. The bar stools, for example, have a traditional form, but with contemporary oversized chrome nail heads.” Storage has tripled with the new cabinets. There are custom drawer inserts for the clients’ collections of cutlery, glassware and ceramics.

Modern kitchens have become the busy social centre of the home, and their design needs to reflect this standing. This was one of the motivating factors behind the design of this new kitchen by Arcadia Joinery. Project manager Fred Jing says the kitchen needed to be sleek, distinctive and easy to maintain, with clutter hidden from view. To this end, Arcadia Joinery designed a galley-style kitchen with a scullery, a long island, and overhead cabinets in dark-stained oak veneer. A tall bank of
cabinets housing the oven tower, pantry and refrigerator is gloss lacquered in white, with a buffed finish, and framed with a dark-stained trunk veneer scriber panel. This helps to define the kitchen within the large, open-plan living space. The clean-lined look is enhanced by invisible handles. These are mounted onto the carcass behind the doors, which can be opened by narrow recessed pulls. Benchtops, including the waterfall island top, are white engineered stone, chosen to match the cabinets. These
feature high-quality German hardware. Arcadia Joinery manufactures and installs all its kitchens, which come with a five- to seven-year guarantee. Several kitchens can be viewed in the showroom.

Twist on tradition Attention to detail has ensured this new kitchen from Elite Kitchens and Cabinets offers a nod to tradition, along with every modern convenience

Renowned UK television presenter and property specialist Phil Spencer says, if you are only going to improve one room, make it the kitchen – this has become the showpiece of the home. Elite Kitchens and Cabinets also knows exactly how important a good kitchen is to modern living, and how it contributes to a family’s health and wellbeing. The kitchen on these pages is a perfect example, says director Hamish Ross. “With its Shaker-style doors, breakfast bar with tongue-and-groove profile, and
duck egg-blue tiled splashback the kitchen has a traditional flavour that complements the home. At the same time, it fits the needs of a busy household – right down to the large, well-equipped scullery.” Elite uses local materials for its kitchens wherever possible, including environmentally certified board for its cabinetry. This is teamed with high-end European-made hardware. Elite has its own in-house designers and a team of skilled tradespeople who manufacture the kitchens – along with
bathrooms, wardrobes and other joinery. “We offer competitive pricing and can work to all budgets without compromising the quality or service,” says Ross.

Social agenda This natural-look kitchen and dining area is the hub of the home – the interiors are by Yellowfox

Natural connections and efficient cabinetry design can create a warm, uncluttered kitchen. The brief to Yellowfox designer Peta Davy for this project was to open up the top-floor living spaces and create a kitchen that brings the family together in the shared space. Key approaches to the new design included bringing a sense of balance across the kitchen, banishing cooking mess from sight, and creating a relaxed, natural ambience, says Davy. To achieve this, the designer specified rich wood veneer cabinetry for both the south wall and above the range on the west wall, which
draws the room together. The bank of cabinets includes a concealed pantry that offers extra storage and a place to keep prepping out of sight. The oven takes centre stage and is flanked on both sides with a low-upkeep white engineered stone benchtop. The glass splashback is matched to the walls for a seamless look. The generous island is a feature of the space. This houses a wine fridge for entertaining. The vein in the waterfall granite benchtop echoes the waters of the Waitemata seen from the deck. For variety, the cabinetry on the east wall is in a white two-pack finish and opaque glass.
This houses the coffee machine, a small sink for clean-up and a television – a convenient family drawcard. This cabinetry also accommodates crockery and glassware, and is lit with LED strips that add an ethereal glow in the evenings.

Roughing it These getaways have been reinvented with improved creature comforts and connections to the scenery
holiday homes
Height of taste This mountain escape has been transformed, improving both capacity and comfort, while retaining all its original charm

search | save | share at trendsideas.com
In the past, holiday homes were usually more about getting closer to the New Zealand landscape than about creature comforts. Today, however, the standard of many retreats rivals or exceeds those left behind in the city. Twenty years ago Michael Wyatt Architects created this wood-and-steel mountain eyrie. While the strong, simple architecture has stood the test of time, the current owners wanted a more contemporary exterior, together with improved functionality. They asked the original architectural firm to undertake the renovation. Transforming the overall aesthetic was fairly
easy, says project architect Michael Wyatt. “We stained the weathered timber cladding black and painted the roof the same colour. These straightforward design moves created the edgy, modern aesthetic required.” Steel-framed pergolas with batten roofs replace older versions on the main building, and provide shade – the spacing of the battens echoes the vertical seam cladding. A new solid front door was also added to create a more prominent entry, and the original lean-to was reinvented to accommodate a new kitchen. Sliding doors improve the indoor-outdoor flow.
Preceding pages: Strategic changes have updated this 20-year-old mountain home for the 21st century. Above left: The renovated lean-to now houses a professional-style kitchen. Doorways and pergolas have also been reconfigured. Left: A sense of arrival and welcome have been created with a new front door and canopy.

Wyatt also added a lap pool, and upgraded the decking that wraps around the exposed side of the house, optimising the sweeping outlook to The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. On the interior, the changes are substantial, improving overall functionality and adding another bedroom and more living space. In the main structure, the dining area was moved to the kitchen’s original position near the centre of the building. An internal dividing wall was removed, and a doorway opened out, extending the length of the double-height living volume.
Facing page and above: A window in an upstairs bedroom overlooks the living spaces. With one wall removed and another opened up, the dining room now has a closer connection to the living area. The tall storage wall and library-style access ladder were requests of the owners.

For structural reasons, a steel support portal now spans the middle of the room. This is painted black to tie in with the exterior metalwork. This beam contrasts the original pine ceiling, which is painted white to enhance the sense of spaciousness and light. New timber floors were laid throughout. The new kitchen features a substantial island in precast concrete, stainless steel perimeter benchtops, and a black backpainted glass splashback. These elements, and the three semiindustrial light pendants, give the kitchen a no-nonsense feel. This was a specific request
search | save | share at trendsideas.com
from one of the owners, a professional chef. The master suite, on the ground floor, has also been transformed, with new floor-to-ceiling windows taking in the mountain views from the bathroom. A new central dividing wall in the bedroom separates the bed from a desk and seating area. The wall also provides privacy from the pool area and repurposed garage. Leading to two upstairs guest bedrooms at the rear, a new minimalist stair and stairwell window further open up views to the Remarkables. The guest rooms have been freshened up, and a new bathroom added.
“Perhaps the most dramatic transformation of all was to the old garage,” says Wyatt. “This now provides a pool house and media room on the lower level, with a children’s retreat on a new mezzanine floor, which maximises the space beneath the gabled roof. To maintain a connection between upstairs and downstairs, we created gaps on both sides of the mezzanine – these also allow a natural light flow, and give the floor an attractive, airy, floating look.” The holiday retreat has undergone other changes, too. Both the house and the pool are heated with energy from a new diesel generator.
Electricity is used for underfloor heating in the bathrooms. “While the two principal structures retain their original lines, the function and capacity of the home has been transformed,” says Wyatt. “The cheaper fuel source means the new pool is heated year round – something of a luxury in an alpine climate. “On the other side of the house, the expanded deck, complete with soaking tub and glass balustrades, greatly improves indoor-outdoor connections to the most breathtaking of mountain outlooks.”

Back to bach Nostalgia is a powerful influence, especially where family holidays are concerned, which is why this ’50s bach was extended, rather than demolished

search | save | share at trendsideas.com
Just about everyone in New Zealand has a happy memory of a summer holiday in a small fibrolite bach near the water. It never seemed to matter that these homes were uninsulated, with just a few basic amenities. But fast forward a few decades and the appeal of the primitive is not quite as endearing. When a few home comforts – and more space – were required for this family bach, the owners decided they were too attached to the original fibrolite building to demolish it, so they pushed it out instead.
Facing page and above: This 1950s bach has undergone a major transformation to create a spacious, light-filled holiday home on two levels. Stacking doors open up to a large veranda on the north side. Left: The original bach is clearly differentiated from the new extension. It is painted a darker shade of grey and features small wood-framed windows. A new boardwalk runs from the carport to the front door of the house, in the extension. This end of the house is elevated by 30mm to accommodate new rooms on the lower level. Water tanks are also concealed beneath the house.

An extension was added to the northern end of the bach and a new monopitched roof installed over the entire building. “There was considerable talk about replacing the small windows and cladding,” says one of the owners. “But we didn’t want to disguise the building’s origins. Rather, we felt we should clearly differentiate the old part from the new.” With this in mind, the design team retained the look of the original bach, replacing rotting wood windows with exact copies where necessary. This part of

the house was then painted in dark-grey Resene Gravel, while the new extension was painted in the lighter shade Resene Half Gravel. The darker grey colour is repeated in a new honed, stacked concrete block wall on one side of the extension, providing a subtle visual link between front and back. “The new part of the house is also clearly differentiated by its structure,” says the owner. “We have left the steel structural columns and framing exposed at the north end of the house, which is now

two storeys high, with a large, elevated covered veranda. The galvanised steel has not been painted or powdercoated.” The aluminium joinery is also very different from the original wood. On the east side of the house, the windows are tall and the weatherboards are vertical. While on the west side, the windows are long and narrow and the weatherboards run horizontally. To provide a sense of substance, the walls of the new part of the house are 25cm thick. This creates deep reveals for

The sliding door in the end wall leads into the original part of the house, which is now a guest suite with a separate kitchenette.

the windows and a large cut-out in the stairwell, which brings the morning light into the living area. A new Poggenpohl kitchen, designed by Lara Farmilo, is another key aspect of the build. The kitchen features reflective high-gloss lacquered cabinets in Pebble Grey. These are teamed with white pine decor panels along the top drawers of the island and perimeter base cabinets, which provide a textural contrast. “The pulls are concealed to keep the look very sleek and clean lined,” Farmilo

says. “And because this is an open-plan living area we have concealed the appliances by integrating them into the cabinetry wherever possible. The two ovens are in the side cabinetry, so they are not too visible from the living area.” Another feature of the kitchen is the deep island top. The 12mm Silestone benchtop sits on a steel-reinforced cantilevered extension that doubles as a bar area. “The kitchen is large enough to cater easily to a holiday crowd,” says the designer. “And there is ample storage,
