Step Change

This Victorian villa in Freemans Bay had undergone a series of significant alterations and additions in the mid nineties. The layout meant that living rooms were divided and difficult to furnish and there was a lot of space dedicated to circulation. By rationalising the staircases we were able to expand living spaces and provide more convenient connections between different rooms. Clean lines and a layout that encourages long views contribute to the sense of spaciousness. Skylights let in additional daylight to spaces that were previously dark and gloomy.
