Travers

A classic weatherboard cottage is elegantly updated and extended in this contemporary transformation. Embracing its leafy setting, an elevated rear addition offers a private sanctuary for the master suite, where a secluded balcony invites quiet moments overlooking the lush parkland beyond. Below, the ground floor enjoys the natural warmth of solid blackbutt flooring and is redesigned for easy coastal living and entertaining.

A beautiful spotted gum vertical batten screen provides privacy at the home’s entry, while allowing glimpses of sunlight through to the open-plan living areas. These in turn open out onto a sunny deck, a mosaic pool framed by soft travertine coping and the restful greenery of layered landscaping. Inside, a touch of personality and interest within the entry and secondary living space is made by statement botanical wallpaper, which speaks to the home’s powerful connection to the natural world outside.
