This captivating transformation of a 1910 Federation Cottage has been expertly reimagined into a stunning contemporary haven.
Crafted with precision by Smith & Sons Castle Hill – designed by the owner – this exceptional renovation harmoniously fuses the timeless allure of the past with the luxurious conveniences of today.
Nestled in the heart of Sydney’s Northern Suburbs, this extraordinary venture unfurls with a remarkable expansion that gracefully stretches towards the rear of the residence, enveloping an impressive 125 square meters of rejuvenated opulence that is sure to astonish. Upon entering, you’ll be enthralled by an array of innovative additions and enhancements that exude elegance and flair.
Central to the design, the state-of-the-art kitchen takes the spotlight, boasting a butler’s pantry and a stunning in-situ concrete island countertop. The substantial island is artfully paired with industrial accents like exposed brickwork and ceiling ducts, seamlessly balancing with sleek black cabinetry to establish a welcoming, contemporary ambience that retains a cozy warmth.
An intelligently integrated bathroom within the laundry area adds practicality while contributing to the overall allure of the space. The expanded living and dining zones beckon you to unwind and embrace the comforts of home, with an inviting games area connecting to the living room – a perfect setting for cherished moments with loved ones.
The extension walls, meticulously constructed with robust 200mm cast in-situ exposed concrete, emanate a sense of solidity and longevity. Polished concrete floors and the elegant detailing of Queensland Hoop pine express joint panelling on the ceiling elevate the aesthetic to new pinnacles, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that’s been invested.
A standout feature, the generously proportioned floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, towering at an impressive 3.0 meters in height and spanning an incredible 10 meters in width, offers a seamless union with the outdoors. These doors beckon nature’s beauty to gracefully merge with the heart of the home, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Stepping into the exterior reveals a mesmerizing oasis of the surrounding landscape, transforming the outdoor area and pool into a serene sanctuary. The artful integration of elements from the original federation cottage into the contemporary design strikes a harmonious balance between the past and present, evoking a sense of nostalgia and renewal. This design pays homage to heritage while embracing innovative concepts.
