This renovation involved the careful upgrading and restoration of the original Edwardian home, complemented by the addition of a single‑storey contemporary rear extension. Located within a heritage precinct of Williamstown, the design approach ensured that the new works remain discreet, with the extension not visible from the street and respectful of the dwelling’s historic character.

The rear addition accommodates a light‑filled living and dining space that opens seamlessly to a covered outdoor living area and pool, supporting a relaxed, indoor‑outdoor lifestyle. The scale and volume of the extension have been carefully calibrated to complement the generous proportions of the existing house.

A wide central hallway acts as the organising spine of the home, providing a clear and intuitive connection between the original rooms and the new living spaces, and reinforcing a sense of continuity between old and new.
