Bulimba Workers Cottage Renovation

The renovation now features contemporary spaces for living, working, socializing, and outdoor relaxation. The vast open-concept design now provides an optimal internal living environment. While taking the site’s constraints into consideration, this renovation maximized the floor area for the site as efficiently as possible. The maximum height limit was also met as much as possible to achieve three levels of the building. Wherever possible, this renovation also challenged flexible regulations to ensure the most optimal outcome for the client.

The new building will be clearly integrated with the existing cottage house. This existing portion of the home will, therefore, retain its unique characteristics and provide closed spaces for more personal or private use. It then branches into the new modules which will provide our clients with the contemporary lifestyle they desire. The central core of the home connects living and dining areas with laundry facilities for easy accessibility. The tiled ground floor also offers protection and durability to cope with the demands of having increased wet areas from the outdoor terrace and pool.

In summary, this design addressed the client’s requirements for a modern lifestyle within the constraints of the site, all the while taking into consideration issues related to the Demolition Control Precinct which the house is within. It also allows for some vertical adjustment if required.

A streamlined kitchen with an open bench will also be incorporated.

The new home will be climate controlled through central air.
A galley-style study will also be incorporated into the new home.
Laundry facilities should be located near the kitchen and they should have access to a drying deck.
The main entertainment room should be located on the ground floor of the new home.
A cellar and powder room will also be included.
