THOMPSON STREET

This project aimed to restore the lost historic character of an Interwar bungalow that had undergone unsympathetic modifications while introducing a modern, relaxed internal finish. The removal of the overbearing gabled balcony and reinstatement of the entrance and verandah on the front elevation has restored architectural balance and historic accuracy to the home. Complemented by a soft contemporary color scheme, the dwelling now presents an improved appearance to the streetscape.

Inside, the home has been reconfigured into a clean, sleek layout, featuring natural materials and a light, relaxed color palette. The design has reintroduced historic character and sensitivity to the home with the inclusion of timber dado rails, wall panelling, and internal doors.

This sustainable project has adapted much of the existing fabric and retained historic detailing such as floors, ceilings, staircase, and balustrade. Additionally, historic verandah tiles were discovered, restored, and retained. The rear and reinstated front verandahs provide passive solar shading, while solar panels and rainwater tanks serve the home and gardens.

Removing the domineering gabled balcony and reinstating the entrance and verandah on the front elevation has restored architectural balance and greater historic accuracy to the dwelling and, with a complementary colour palette, the dwelling now offers an improved presentation to the streetscape.
