In order to simplify the dwelling, the humble embellishments of the original structure can offer a new grandeur look with the gentle sandstone arches and a hipped roof. The language of crafted timber can connect this project to the next and across the passage of time from one level.
On the rear facade part, this house also borrows from the industrial maritime heritage of the area with a black-oxide mortar and sleek black brick.
The reconfigured family room and the kitchen is streamlined and opened up with in-built furniture and a bespoke wall of joinery. The white neutral palette and timber are also freshened with some color burst, including a lush deep blue feature wall and architectural fittings.
McGILL 38 is a residential winner project that has won two design awards. With the design, modern spaces, and comfortable atmosphere, this project won the Design Excellence Award 2018 from IDA and the Fantini Design Award 2018. It also appears in the January 2019 edition of Azure Magazine.
The kitchen in this house is designed as simple and possible, and also friendly. There is an extendable table which, once deployed, can accommodate up to 14 guests in this kitchen.
