Description

M+M Architects proudly present the transformation of this Federation-style home in Neutral Bay – once a boarding house, now a refined family residence.

To bring the home into the present, we removed outdated 1950s additions and designed a contemporary extension that blends seamlessly with the original structure. The new space features a modern kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry, and a relaxed family sitting area – balancing heritage charm with everyday functionality.

Key original features – fireplaces, moulded ceilings, timber floors, and decorative skirting – were carefully preserved throughout. We also updated the first floor with a new ensuite and built-in wardrobe, enhancing comfort and usability.

Built during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the renovation was carefully managed despite supply chain delays and rising costs.

The result is a warm, character-filled home that honours its rich history while embracing modern living.
