Nestled amongst majestic agaves and soft trees this heritage Cottesloe home has undergone a careful and considered transformation.
The new design language takes inspiration from the soft edges and colours of the existing Spanish-style home, with particular references to the arches found all around the home.
While she has remained almost unchanged from the street facades, her interior has been carefully deconstructed and stitched back together to create functional and beautiful interior spaces for family life.
The original home, built in 1937 by Architect, Peter Lewis was suffering from many years of ad-hoc renovations and additions. The project sought to create more cohesive spaces, carefully excavating the ground floor to address issues of rising damp whilst celebrating the uniqueness of the house and its Mediterranean roots.
