THORNBURY, VIC
The original facade of the Halloran’s home was old fashioned and tired with minimal street appeal. It looked flat & uninteresting and the landscaping was very scrappy.
They wanted a more modern looking facade whilst being respectful of the original house style and design. They wanted the front entrance to be accessed front-on, instead of directly from the driveway, while maintaining the location of the front door. They came to us with a Pinterest board full of ideas which acted like a design compass, giving us a good feel for the look & style they were hoping to achieve.
Painting the trims and updating the landscaping were a ‘given’, but needed to be done in a certain way to create visual balance and a contrasting yet cohesive effect (blending old with new) that would add real wow factor without too much additional expense.
As per their wishes, we designed the facade/exterior to incorporate the existing brickwork and used modern colours & materials to create overall interest and a more commanding front entrance.
We re-designed the portico structure to enter the house from the front and off-set the heaviness of the brick with simple, well-considered landscaping to provide structured softness and a more inviting effect.
