North Toowoomba · Colonial restoration & extension · Kitchen, living, dining, bedroom, bathroom, mudroom, laundry and decks

Built in the 1800s, this colonial home had been added to over the years, and a later addition at the back no longer suited the way its owners wanted to live. We removed that back third of the home, reworked the floor plan and added a small extension. Under the character overlay, the new section was designed to feel more traditional than the facade it replaced. Original leadlight glass, the stove alcove and the surrounding timberwork were protected throughout and refreshed to sit with the new work. The result feels as though it has always been this way.
