renovation | captain cook crescent | narrabunda

This transformation breathes new life into a modest ex-government home on a compact 652sqm block. With a rear extension already added in the 1990s, the focus of this renovation was the front of the home—creating a new living space, powder room, and entry, along with a double garage and upgrades to the kitchen and family room.

A key objective was to completely reinvent the street appeal, setting the home apart from its many similarly styled mid-century neighbours. Cladding, new double-glazed windows, and warm timber detailing in western red cedar create a sophisticated and contemporary façade. Sculptural garden walls and a new entry deck enhance the arrival experience and soften the impact of the forward-positioned garage.

Inside, two underused front bedrooms were reconfigured to create a light-filled living space with a gas fireplace and refined custom joinery. The kitchen and family room were fully renovated, with larger windows inviting more natural light and strengthening the connection to the outdoors.
