This complete renovation of an existing brick cottage seamlessly blends modern design elements with the charm of the original structure. The first-floor addition features a striking double-gable, Scandinavian-inspired roof structure clad in a sleek, black timber-look material reminiscent of shou-sugi-ban charred wood. The dark windows, cladding, and roofing create a bold, contemporary aesthetic that complements the carefully matched brickwork of the ground floor.

An architectural, floating steel staircase with a custom handrail ascends alongside an impressive 7-meter feature wall, which was outfitted with custom-milled cladding to minimize joints. Timber-look joinery, a striking black kitchen, and strategic placement of skylights introduce an abundance of natural light throughout the home.

Exceptional attention to detail is evident in the significant amount of hardwood accents and finishes, which will only become more beautiful with age. This bespoke family home effortlessly balances modern and traditional design, resulting in a sophisticated and functional living space.
