a tired, old Californian bungalow and its artistic, middle-aged owners did not make a good match. Tim and Monica have backgrounds in graphic design, bespoke furniture making and commercial property management. They were after a specific design that they wanted their home to represent. Their dream was a twostorey, architecturally designed “piece of art”. After living in their existing bungalow for more than 20 years, their home was ready for a full renovation. Tim and Monica chose to extend their existing space and create their unique “ar(t)chitectural” home.
“There was a general feeling throughout the construction phase that we were building a ‘piece of art’,” says Pete Furlong, director of Elyte Focus. “As is evident in the outcome, the clients’ focus was very much on achieving a high-quality finish to this bespoke architectural project.”
The existing Californian bungalow received a new internal fitout, including two bedrooms and one rumpus room, as well as a new combined bathroom/laundry, new timber windows and Rylock windows. The two-storey extension has a large living area with brick fireplace, dining and curved kitchen on the ground floor, and a master suite on the first floor. It is in the transitional void or link between the old and new spaces where the homeowners and architectural builder, Pete Furlong, worked together to create a sculpturally artistic space.
