, cheap fuel and homes with open-plan living, but a Bayview beach house missed out on that last key attribute.
“It was the perfect spot to create a new open-plan kitchen and living area,” said architect Matthew Woodward.“The house had great ‘bones’ but it lacked certain spaces, including separate guest accommodation, as well as only having an external staircase between the two levels,” says architect Matthew Woodward, principle of Woodward Architects.
Woodward and his team reclad the brick and timber house using a combination of timbers, including recycled blackbutt for a garage door. New timber-battened screens form the exterior to the new open-plan kitchen and living areas on the top floor.Woodward and his team re-clad the brick and timber house using a combination of timbers, including recycled blackbutt.
“The garage was also conceived for when the family entertains on a larger scale, with the overflow of guests spilling out to the garden,” says Woodward. Privacy was also addressed in the main bedroom, adjacent to the living areas, which is thoughtfully separated by screens and its own balcony. “It was conceived so that it could be easily opened up or configured for more privacy,” says Woodward.
