This Hyde Park residence is a showcase of how classic architecture can be complemented by modern living. At the front, the original Georgian Revival facade was retained, preserving the timeless symmetry and heritage character that defines the home. With a simple freshen-up, its elegance and street presence were enhanced while the architectural integrity remained untouched. To the rear, we introduced a striking modern extension designed around light, openness, and connection to the outdoors. Expansive glazing frames views of the garden and pool, while contemporary architectural lines create a bold contrast to the traditional frontage. The new addition delivers generous living zones ideal for modern family life and entertaining. The interiors were fully renovated to unify both eras. Light timber floors, custom joinery, and a clean, modern palette establish a calm and refined atmosphere. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining space, bringing together functionality, style, and connection to nature. This transformation preserves the home’s historic charm while creating a sophisticated, contemporary environment perfectly suited to modern family living.
