Power … a Williamstown Home

Located in Williamstown, this family of three plus their whippets were looking to transform their tired weatherboard home into a family home with space to grow.

Adding only 40 square metres to the footprint but reworking the existing layout has resulted in a home with the space they craved and one they love to come home to.

Modern extension to the rear of a traditional heritage home by local Williamstown architect Dig Design featuring a large window seat overlooking a swimming pool surrounded with bluestone paving. A roofed white pergola covering an outdoor entertainment area is next to the pool.
Large modern kitchen featuring black cabinets, grey concrete coloured stone benchtops and full height splashback. The pocket door cabinets in the background are open, exposing the sink black tapware and dishwasher. The large black Falcon stove is on the right. A large black lineal pendant is used over the island bench and undercabinet LED strips illuminate benchtops along the walls. Light coloured engineered oak flooring is used. The tan leather upholstered bench seat to the dining area can be seen in the background to the right.
A large modern window seat looks out from the living room onto the swimming pool. Lots of natural light fills the space and it looks like a comfy place to curl up on the tan leather upholstery with a good book.

The roof is zincalume and a concave veranda is sported by white veranda posts with white powder coated lacework.

Clients Ray Jodi and Lily had been thinking about their dream home for years but were finding it a challenge to convert their ideas into an action plan.

 

They had some great ideas and a bank of images they were collecting and in talking with Lindsay a way forward was becoming clear.

 

Their Power Street block was generous, but as Lindsay explained, a huge extension wasn’t necessary to enable them to reach their goals.

Black and white architectural floor plan of a modern extension to a traditional heritage home in Williamstown. The plan includes bedrooms, home office, bathroom, ensuite, walk in robe, large kitchen, pantry, laundry, dining area and living room, with a pool and an outdoor entertainment area.

The front four rooms were to remain, with some alterations to make them comfortable and contemporary spaces within their period context.

 

The rear of the home though was to be totally transformed with two new bathrooms, laundry, living, dining, a full home office and a true entertainer’s kitchen.

 

Julie-Anne worked closely with Jodi to help define the palette and designed their interior spaces.  Julie-Anne jokes that she would swap for this kitchen in a heartbeat … but she’s not really joking!!

 

An alfresco area opens off the living spaces and a window seat looks out over the pool.

Modern kitchen by Williamstown interior designer Dig Design features black cabinets, grey concrete coloured stone benchtops and full height splashback. The pocket door cabinets on the right are open, exposing the sink black tapware and dishwasher. The space is filled with natural light from the large glass doors out of shot on the left. A large black lineal pendant is used over the island bench and undercabinet LED strips illuminate benchtops along the walls, there are also recessed downlights illuminating the space. Light coloured engineered oak flooring is used.
We can’t thank Dig Design enough for all their work in creating our amazing extension of our heritage listed home. 
Lindsay took on board our requirements – we felt listened to – offered design solutions and was with us every step of the way including establishing a great working relationship with our builder, SJR Building Group. 
Without Julie-Anne’s expertise we would never have been able to land on the look and feel of our home. Her recommendations were on point. 
Overall Lindsay and Julie-Anne were a pleasure to work with, and we have no hesitation in recommending Dig Design.

A hint of the bathroom door can be seen with its accent black door handle.
