Top: This airy children’s bedroom
sits on the new mezzanine level in
the former garage. Gaps between
the rafters below allow views to the
media room and give the mezzanine
a floating look.
Above: The owners had a hand in the
design of the central dividing wall in
the master bedroom. This provides
a degree of privacy from the pool
house outside.

For structural reasons, a steel support
portal now spans the middle of the room.
This is painted black to tie in with the exterior
metalwork. This beam contrasts the original
pine ceiling, which is painted white to enhance
the sense of spaciousness and light. New timber
floors were laid throughout.
The new kitchen features a substantial
island in precast concrete, stainless steel perimeter benchtops, and a black backpainted glass
splashback. These elements, and the three semiindustrial light pendants, give the kitchen a
no-nonsense feel. This was a specific request

from one of the owners, a professional chef.
The master suite, on the ground floor, has
also been transformed, with new floor-to-ceiling windows taking in the mountain views
from the bathroom. A new central dividing wall
in the bedroom separates the bed from a desk
and seating area. The wall also provides privacy
from the pool area and repurposed garage.
Leading to two upstairs guest bedrooms at
the rear, a new minimalist stair and stairwell
window further open up views to the Remarkables. The guest rooms have been freshened up,
and a new bathroom added.
