At Warrington Homes, we take immense pride in our ability to transform spaces, breathing new life into homes while respecting their original character. One such project that exemplifies our commitment to quality and innovation is the remarkable extension of a classic red brick home in Richmond. This case study delves into the journey of revitalizing a quaint two-bedroom abode into a contemporary haven, showcasing our architectural prowess and collaborative spirit.
The Vision: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity
Our clients approached us with a clear vision: they wanted to refresh their original two-bedroom, one-bathroom red brick home into a stylish modern residence featuring three bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms. The challenge was to maintain the charm of the existing structure while introducing elements that would resonate with contemporary aesthetics. The design concept revolved around an industrial yet sleek style, characterized by clean lines and contrasting materials. We aimed to create an inviting atmosphere that seamlessly blended the old with the new, ensuring that the extension complemented the original architecture rather than overshadowing it.
Collaboration with Expert Subcontractors
To bring this ambitious vision to life, we collaborated with several trusted subcontractors and suppliers who shared our commitment to excellence: – **CCC Polished Concrete**: Their expertise in polished concrete flooring added a touch of sophistication and durability to the interiors. – **All Design Cabinets**: They provided custom cabinetry solutions that maximized storage while enhancing the overall aesthetic. – **Trend Windows**: Their high-quality windows not only improved energy efficiency but also allowed natural light to flood the living spaces. This collaboration was pivotal in ensuring that every aspect of the project met our high standards for quality and design.
The Journey: From Concept to Completion
The project commenced in early 2021, with an estimated timeline of over six months (9 to 10 months as most of our projects). Throughout this period, we maintained open lines of communication with our clients, providing regular updates on progress and addressing any concerns promptly. As construction began, we carefully dismantled parts of the existing structure to make way for the new extension. This phase required meticulous planning and execution to ensure structural integrity remains. One significant milestone was laying the foundation for the extension. Our team worked diligently to ensure that it was robust enough to support the additional weight of the new structure while adhering to local building codes. This foundational work set the stage for what would become a stunning addition to their home.
Design Elements That Define Modern Living
The design elements incorporated into this project were carefully selected to reflect modern living while honouring traditional craftsmanship. The exterior features striking contrast between rich red brick and sleek Colorbond cladding, creating visual interest that draws the eye. Inside, we focused on creating open spaces that fostered connectivity among family members. The layout was designed with functionality in mind; each room flows seamlessly into another without sacrificing privacy or comfort. Natural light played a crucial role in our design philosophy. Large windows strategically placed throughout the extension invite sunlight indoors, creating bright and airy living spaces that enhance well-being.
A Sustainable Approach
In addition to aesthetic considerations, sustainability was at the forefront of our design strategy. We sourced eco-friendly materials wherever possible and implemented energy-efficient solutions such as double-glazed windows and insulation techniques that reduce energy consumption. This commitment not only benefits our clients through lower utility bills but also contributes positively towards environmental conservation—a value we hold dear at Warrington Homes.
Final Touches: Bringing It All Together
As we neared completion, attention turned towards final touches that would elevate this home from merely functional to truly exceptional. Our team meticulously helped our client select finishes—ranging from fixtures and fittings to paint colors—that aligned with our clients' tastes while maintaining coherence throughout both old and new sections of their home. The result? A harmonious blend of industrial chic and contemporary elegance that reflects both style and comfort—a true testament to what can be achieved when vision meets expertise.
Client Satisfaction: The Ultimate Reward
Upon completion of this extensive project—totaling between $500,001 AUD – $750,000 AUD—our clients expressed their delight at how their dream had materialized beyond expectations. Their satisfaction is what drives us at Warrington Homes; knowing we've created a space where families can thrive brings us immense joy.
