Design Highlights

The renovation respects the home’s original 1920s charm, carefully restoring its historic elements while introducing modern interventions, including:

  • A new open-plan living space filled with natural light.

  • Exposed timber beams and earthy material palettes that evoke warmth and comfort.

  • A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor areas, blurring the boundaries of the home.

As ArchitectureAU notes, the design balances nostalgia with innovation, resulting in a space that feels both timeless and refreshingly contemporary.

Awards and Recognition

The Highgate Park House has garnered significant praise for its sensitive and creative approach to adaptive reuse, underscoring its relevance in contemporary Australian architecture.

Collaborative Efforts

In collaboration with Contech Architects, we played a key role in realising the structural elements that underpin this design:

  • Integrating modern structural solutions to support the open-plan living areas and extensive glazing.

  • Ensuring structural integrity for the seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.

  • Crafting bespoke design solutions for heritage features and new additions.
