New England style is adapted in contemporary fashion on the Mornington Peninsula

Although the existing Mornington Peninsula residence belonging to these homeowners was a dated holiday kit home, it offered an interesting two-storey New England-style front. The homeowners really loved the feel of this front extension and wanted to renovate the home and extend it to accommodate their needs. The owners wanted to level the walk-through to the new works with an open, light and contemporary airy adaptation of the New England style. The task was to remove the elevated holiday kit home and create an extension, including a dining walk-through, into the great room, which features the family kitchen, scullery and highlight windows. This opens up to a north-facing swimming pool and glazed storeroom, which can be accessed from the family room and serviced from the scullery.

On the southern side, a courtyard was created to allow a view across the family room through to the pool. The master bedroom suite accommodating an ensuite, walk-in robe and its own private courtyard to the rear, plus a laundry and dog/mud room, were added. The existing building was modified with a vestibule-style entry, new stairs and finishes, including a slate-tiled roof. This home was designed to complement the original building’s finishes and is now crisp white with a grey slate roof, enhanced by natural rock and ironbark posts. Rendered brickwork and weatherboards work well to fill the owners’ wishes for a contemporary home that blends with the existing New England-style cottage with a classic feel.

This striking residence challenges the idea that new homeowners can only achieve their dream abode with the help of an architect

The Edge, built by Rawson Homes, offers a spectacular array of stylish and sophisticated layout and design features that you might expect to see in an architectural portfolio.

This is a home with clean lines and contemporary inclusions. “We wanted to create a light and airy feel,” explains Phillipa Harrison of Rawson Homes. “We used light materials and maximised the window space throughout to help create this.” Rawson Homes chose to place a full glass wall to one side of the abode, traversing levels and allowing light to filter in throughout the day. The clever placement of glass is a special feature that gives the home its bright and breezy aesthetic, but also works for homeowners who are conscious of their energy consumption.

New homebuilders who might be considering narrow blocks of land would be in safe hands with this design as it is particularly suited to this tricky building issue. It is also an excellent choice for homebuilders looking to knockdown and rebuild, especially if the site is narrow or small. What is special about this design, though, is that although it has been built many times before, it has never been built the same way twice. “All our homes are fully customisable,” explains Phillipa. “Every Edge Rawson Homes build is different, taking into account the needs of the homeowners.”

The Edge is part of Rawson Homes’ Rebuild with Rawson range which dives in headfirst to deal with any associated challenges encountered with this type of building style. “Our aim was to build a home that would compete with architectural firms in the knock-down rebuild market,” says Phillipa. “We showed it was possible to have a customisable, designer home without the price tag that it usually comes with.”

This is a knockout home that is perfectly suited to many different types of homeowners – its fully customisable options paired with the sophisticated architectural elements make it a great space for any family looking for a designer home at an affordable price.

This knock-down rebuild home is flexible, simple and efficient

Construction By Design’s awarding winning Aria Display Home is a residence developed for the knock-down rebuild market, showcasing the flexible, simple and efficient nature of the home. This construction company has a dedicated team of professionals who pride themselves on delivering projects of the highest quality.

“The home is comprised of a fully contained guest bedroom, formal living, open-plan kitchen with a butler’s pantry and informal areas on the lower floor,” says Lewin Wiles, design manager at Construction By Design.

“There are three well-proportioned secondary bedrooms, each with close access to a bathroom and leisure room on the first floor, and a master bedroom wing that is large and luxurious with a number of key features including a double-storey robe.”

The home showcases creative design with an emphasis on natural light, open spaces and clever planning to maximise usually wasted space. “The home, with the use of the full guest bed could easily be adapted as an in-law accommodation or to have multiple families within the one home.”

Address: 11 Butler Avenue, Kellyville, NSW 2155
