Grandview House

In the picturesque suburb of Brighton, Melbourne, Grandview House stands as a stunning embodiment of time-honoured charm and modern sophistication. This renovation project, focused on a two-storey rear extension, transforms a classic Californian bungalow into a 'forever home' that captures the essence of a bayside lifestyle.

The front facade of the house gracefully retains the original Californian bungalow character, while the modern angular lines of the first-floor addition introduce a contemporary dynamism. A standout feature is the large circular window, set within an extruded shroud, creating a striking visual contrast that beautifully marries the old with the new.

Inside, the ground floor unfurls into a vast open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, forming the pulsating heart of the home and seamlessly linking the interior with the outdoors. This space is designed to be the main focal point, where daily life unfolds in a bright and airy ambiance.

The first-floor addition is thoughtfully crafted as a private retreat for the teenage daughter, providing her with a space that's both personal and intricately connected to the home's overall narrative.

Grandview House is a celebration of architectural harmony, where the cherished features of a Californian bungalow coexist with bold, modern design elements. This project stands as a testament to our commitment to creating homes that honour their heritage while embracing contemporary living.
