Before and After: The Giralang Project

Status Living

Dernière modification : il y a 7 ans

The brief for this project was to modernise and refresh a dated 1970’s house both internally and externally, whilst still maintaining the homes original unique and architecturally designed characteristics.

Internally, the client wanted to create an open, modern, light-filled home that both flowed and was functional, and to remedy the existing floor plan, which was dark, cramped and impractical. Working with the designer, we were able to completely reconfigure the home including: moving majority of the internal walls; excavating the subfloor to create internal access to a previously external laundry; replacing the spiral staircase with a more practical and safer U-shaped staircase; removing parts of the second storey floor to create a double height ceiling in the entry; and creating a spacious master retreat with walk through robe and ensuite. A range of high quality inclusions have been incorporated in the home including a massive 4.4 metre long stone kitchen bench top, carrara marble back splash, carrara marble flooring, Clipsal Zen light switches and solid Victorian Ash timber flooring. To create a more energy efficient and comfortable home for the clients we replaced the existing windows with double glazing, installed a new 3.5 metre north-facing sliding door and added extensive insulation throughout, taking the home from a 0.5 Energy Efficiency Rating, to 6.5.

The home is located prominently in the street, and sits elevated on the site, and the clients wanted to update the exterior to take advantage of this positioning. This involved a large amount of work including: installing new Silver Top Ash cladding to both the new extension and existing entry; replacing old cladding with rendered 100mm foam cladding; removing the dated metal parapet and extending the existing brick walls to create new parapets; and either rendering or painting all parts of the remaining brickwork.

      Looks great, especially the kitchen.
      concerned about the loss of shelter around and over the front door, people do still walk, nothing worse than standing in the rain and wind fumbling with keys.
      Or welcoming guests who have walked up from parking spots.

      Definitely a good point spmm. It wasn't a huge concern for the owners as they enter the house through the garage, but as you mentioned, something to keep in mind for guests. We are still planning the front landscaping with the owners and will be looking at incorporating some shelter through that.

      Thanks John! Do you mean for the paint colour? Externally is was matched to Colorbond Monument. Internally it was British Paint's Rhino Grey.

      Hi Jess. The black lighting above the island is a track system from Beacon Lighting - this is the spotlights used: http://www.beaconlighting.com.au/ledlux-action-1-light-black-cylinder-track-spot-in-warm-white.html 

      The light on the splash back Hera LED lighting which our joiner custom built built into the timber strip. It is from Lincoln Sentry http://www.lincolnsentry.com.au

      It doesn't seem to want to link properly but it is the spot light called "

      LEDlux Action 1 Light Dimmable Black Cylinder Track Spot in Warm White"

      Jaw-dropping! How stunning!


      Can I ask what white is used on the front of the property? I have painted my back fence in monument and am looking to paint my shed white.

      It is certainly outstanding project. Can we please ask what was used for the splash back panel in kitchen.

      Hi dregger21, the cost was about $300k but there was a lot of major work done on the house - the external brickwork was almost the only thing that stayed!

      Hi cassady66, the splash back is one peice of Carrara marble. We ended up switching between a couple of choices so we find a peice big enough so that we didn't need to put in a join.

      This is mad!! Well done Status Living. Love that you guys totally met the brief and respected the original building. Wish there were more renovations like this rather then knock downs and cheap average rebuilds! Bravo
