BRIGHTON BRICK VILLA RENOVATION
RENOVATED OVER TWO LEVELS TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE EXISTING VILLA
In 2017, Our client approached us to transform a dated brick-and-tile villa in Brighton, Victoria into a modern, family-friendly seaside home. The renovation created a 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence designed for both family living and entertaining.
Key features include a rooftop deck with bay views, a secluded rear courtyard with a home office and yoga studio/gym, and a front courtyard pool. A new flexible living area was added to the first floor, creating a northern overhang while respecting neighbouring two-storey homes.
The aesthetic blends coastal charm and modern design: red brick was whitewashed, weathered timber cladding added warmth, and a grass driveway enhances the relaxed, beachside feel.
