Transforming a dishevelled bungalow into a harmonious haven, our architectural endeavour focused on resurrecting purpose and embracing the inherent beauty of the surroundings. The original structure, a victim of haphazard extensions, stood in the way of its own potential. We embarked on a mission to breathe new life into this dwelling without expanding its footprint.

By orchestrating a meticulous reorganization, we curated a seamless blend of old and new, allowing the structure to rediscover its identity. The darkness that once plagued the interiors gave way to an abundance of light as we reimagined the roof, strategically relocating the pitched sections to optimize glazing on the facade. This design choice was not just about aesthetics; it was a deliberate effort to capture and frame the breathtaking views that the property had long ignored.

The essence of the project lies in its simplicity and functionality. A modernized interior, adorned with clean lines and warm tones, welcomes the family into a space that now aligns with contemporary living. Every corner echoes a unified theme, weaving a narrative of transformation and renewal.

The true triumph lies in the art of preservation without expansion. No additional footprint was added, and yet, the dwelling underwent a complete metamorphosis. It stands now as a testament to thoughtful design, where the structure not only caters to the family's needs but also acts as a stage for the spectacular panorama beyond. This is not just a home; it's a canvas that celebrates the marriage of architecture and nature, a testament to the delicate dance between modernity and tradition.
