Petersham

Located right in the heart of the trendy Inner West, a first floor addition has grown this freestanding family home to accommodate the family’s changing needs. Housing a dedicated parent’s retreat including bedroom, ensuite, walk-in robe, sitting room and home office, the addition sits delicately atop the ground floor using light weight construction to enable almost full retention of the charming period features of the existing house. Appearing modest from the outside, the interiors reflect the clients’ creative and playful personality with bold use of colour and texture throughout, pushing well beyond the bounds of a typical colour palette. A generous picture window to the first floor sitting room frames breathtaking city views to the east, while a large skylight above the stair filters natural light into the once dark dining room below.
