A Victorian House In Australia Has Received A Modern Extension

Smart Design Studio have completed the transformation of a traditional Victorian house in Sydney, Australia, as well as adding an extension to the rear of the home.

Stepping inside, there’s a formal living room with some original features, like the fireplace, that have been combined with contemporary elements, like the shelving.

Wood steps lead from the formal living room down to a new, open and airy living space.

The open floor plan of the extension allows for a casual living room with a built-in couch, the kitchen, and a dining area.

Opposite the living room is a dining area, which also features built-in seating in the form of a banquette that wraps around the corner.

In the kitchen, a wall of cabinetry creates plenty of storage, while the island increases the amount of counter space available.

The extension features bi-fold pocket doors that hide away and open up the interior space to the terrace and grassed area beyond.

In the yard, another built-in seat has been included that provides a place for someone to relax next to the planters.

Back inside, and there’s a room that acts as a home office, with the finishes throughout the house are kept light and neutral in color to allow the owner’s art collection to shine.

In the master bedroom, a wall of cabinetry in light wood provides much needed storage to the room.

In the ensuite bathroom, the shower is tucked away behind a wall that’s also home to the vanity on the other side.

In another bedroom, large windows provide natural sunlight to filter through, while a cabinet lines the wall beneath a curved alcove.

In this bathroom, penny tiles cover the floor while white subway tiles, laid vertically, cover the walls, and the mirrors reflect the light and curve in the ceiling.
