More About This Project
The Brief
Extending and Renovating an Established Family Home in Mosman
Pindari House involved extending and renovating an existing two-storey residence in Mosman, on Sydney's Lower North Shore.
Their main priority was creating a more practical and contemporary layout, particularly around the kitchen, dining and family living areas.
They also wanted alterations to other parts of the home across both levels, making better use of the existing spaces and improving how the different rooms worked together.
The Design Response
Reworking the Existing Two-Storey Home
We approached the project by looking at how the existing rooms were arranged and where alterations would make the greatest difference.
Rather than completely rebuilding the home, we developed extensions and internal changes that made better use of the existing structure.
The design incorporated alterations across both levels, with particular attention given to how the family would move between the different living spaces.
Redesigning the Kitchen, Dining and Living Areas
A major part of the renovation was creating a more practical kitchen and improving its relationship with the surrounding living spaces.
We developed a contemporary kitchen with a generous island bench, extensive storage and plenty of working space.
The revised arrangement creates a stronger connection between the kitchen, dining and adjoining living areas, making the home more comfortable for everyday family life and entertaining.
Improving Natural Light and Outdoor Connections
We also considered how the renovated living areas would connect with the outside.
The design was developed to bring more natural light into the home and improve the relationship between the kitchen and adjoining outdoor spaces.
These changes help the existing residence feel more open and connected without requiring a complete rebuild.
Project Outcome
CDC Approved Home Extension & Renovation | Mosman
Pindari House received Complying Development Certificate approval issued by a private accredited certifier.
The renovation was subsequently completed, providing the owners with a more contemporary and practical family home while retaining the established residence.
The project demonstrates how thoughtful extensions and renovations can improve an existing home without the need to demolish and rebuild.
