There's something about a double-height extension that really brings a new lease of life to an urban home, especially when it's just one part of a project as well done as this one. A common feature of city-based renovation projects is re-integrating disparate rooms. In larger townhouses, they were often disconnected when these large homes were cut up into smaller flats for the growing middle classes of the early to mid-20th century. Unfortunately, a lot of the historic character was also lost at the same time. This London-based project brings cohesion back into the home beautifully, filling the space with light and a modern elegance, while also shining a light on the building's original features. https://lnkd.in/ehqv9RNK #homerenovation #homeextension #homeinspo #urbanarchitecture

The residential complex we designed is under construction in North-East Melbourne! This double-storey 10-unit complex comprises of ten, four-bedroom townhouses. Designed with a lower basement level comprising of 10 garage spaces and storage for each dwelling. ☀️This development was designed with a focus on maximising available views and nature light. 👥 In the design we incorporated more space than other developments in the area, allowing for a pedestrian street between the units. This creates a more liveable space, with room for greenery and plants and to go on a stroll through. 🌿 The landscaping softens the hard surfaces, creating a peaceful environment bathed in natural light, while increasing the perceived distance between the residences opposite each other. This more spacious design also increases resident’s safety, whilst fostering community. #design #architecturedesign #architecture #development #residential #residentialdesign #developer #propertydevelopment

Are you deciding between the character of an older home and a new build? Older homes often have unique architectural details in established neighborhoods, but they may require more maintenance and updates. New builds offer the latest in design and efficiency, yet sometimes lack the individuality of older properties. New builds can also offer financing incentives that sellers of older homes may not be able to match. Do you like the idea of taking a home with character and making it your own? Or, do you want to move into a turnkey property? Consider factors like location, renovation needs, and personal style preferences. Whether it's the timeless architecture of older homes or a sleek modern design, the perfect home is out there for you! 🛠️🌳 Click the link to get started! https://lnkd.in/gQu5K38u #newbuild #modern #homebuying #lakewoodcolorado #denver #denvercolorado #coloradolife #realestate #realestateagent #realestatelife #renovations
