The Gables House

This stunning family home has a true geek-to-chic transformation story. The Challenge: to turn a 1980s mock-Tudor manor with zero character, into a beautiful modern home.

The archi's went to work reinvigorating the external facade, using timber and steel to create a contemporary interpretation of the original gables.

Inside, both storeys originally had low, flat ceilings. To open up the space (quite literally), we demolished rooms on the upper floor, introducing more volume and natural light into the living spaces.

To create interiors with as much spunky character as the newly redesigned exterior, we called in the big guns: Design Frank. It's safe to say we're extremely proud of the end result and envious of whoever gets to live here (psst... it's for sale).
