To turn over a new leaf, the 1930s abode needed to better align with its family of six. In a bid to better serve the family’s longterm needs, the living zones needed to be optimised, while providing plenty of room for retreat. For this, a large open plan kitchen, family living area and formal room/study was introduced, in addition to a power room, cellar and master bedroom retreat. All of these spaces now enjoy a vibrant vista of the manicured garden, tennis court, pool and pool house, allowing light to penetrate the dim interior.
