Situated amidst a sea of character homes, this Hawthorne Queenslander renovation sits proudly and embodies contemporary style.
Blending into the existing streetscape with a striking façade designed by Dion Seminara Architecture, this renovation saw the Queenslander reborn as a modern home with a respectful nod to the past.
Every home tells a story, and this 1920s Queenslander was full of charm, passion and allure.
Unfortunately, a poorly designed and executed previous renovation was preventing the real gems to shine through.
Sympathetic, contemporary changes were vital to renew the life of the home.
Dion Seminara Architecture’s vision behind this renovation was to embrace the essence of the Queensland lifestyle with the creation of a more dynamic interior and stronger indoor-outdoor connection.
Plenty of natural light permeates the skilfully designed and practical living spaces.
This is a renovation of elegant simplicity.
Improvements to the ground floor layout saw the repositioning of the kitchen, with the creation of a luxurious lounge flowing seamlessly through the timber stacker doors to the terrace.
With the renovation, the open plan living space of the home is now reorganised to create a clearly defined dining space and living space.
Remodelling the under-stair area provided much-needed storage options together with positioning for an entertainment unit in the living room.
Corrections to the flow throughout the ground floor are distinguished by the placement of the new modern kitchen’s island bench, and a clearly defined dining room.
Multiple living areas cater to our client’s dreams of creating a haven that they had always imagined.
