GOLD WINNER - 2015 MELBOURNE DESIGN AWARDS

This original 1960's villa unit in untouched original condition that has been fully renovated is situated in a secluded inner eastern Melbourne suburb. 

The project brief was to create a modern and contemporary open space living area within a constrained budget. Our concept design for the renovation was to create a sense of a larger living space with most of the cost spent by removing some internal walls.

The constrained budget was our challenge to create and achieve the modern and contemporary open space living area. 
The use of the particular colour white for the walls took several extra layers of paint in order to achieve a pure crisp white and expansive feel. 

Re-purposing the existing wooden floorboards under the existing carpet provides a floor material solution for the renovation. 
Using a man-made material for the finish to the new joinery pieces to match the budget and yet it gives a similar look as if it is using a natural product. 

The use of LED lighting provides low maintenance and durability. The refurbishing of the existing window joinery safe costs and kept the integrity of the building.
