Grounded
Set in an established, leafy Canberra suburb, this charming home has been revived and reconfigured for contemporary living. Primary living areas now bask in warm northern light, with views extending into the garden.
A new lounge room steps down to an exposed concrete slab, nestling beneath the canopy of an established tree. Timber windows, revitalised hardwood flooring and hydronic heating bring warmth through Canberra’s cold winters.
The kitchen becomes the heart of the home, complete with a generous walk-in pantry and a servery window opening onto an existing deck.

Externally, recycled timber battens wrap the extension, while a perforated screen and lightweight awning define a distinct new threshold. Age-in-place upgrades to the bathroom and the inclusion of a ground floor bedroom ensure the home supports its residents through all stages of life.
