Project Normanby,
Caulfield North

Nestled within a narrow block in Caulfield North, our clients Alex and Ian sought to expand their living space with two additional bedrooms for their growing family, a bathroom, a living room, and a contemporary kitchen complete with a walk-in pantry and laundry facilities.

 

Envy Abode spearheaded the entire project, from comprehensive design to obtaining permits and executing the build.

Modern kitchen

The challenge lay in harmoniously blending a modern extension with the heritage home. We achieved this by artfully incorporating a mix of recycled solid red bricks, face brickwork, and James Hardie Axon cladding, lending the exterior a rich depth of colour and texture.

 

Given the constraints of the narrow site, maximizing natural light posed a unique challenge. However, Envy Abode ingeniously addressed this obstacle by strategically installing a series of Vivid Skylights, infusing the interiors with ample daylight.

 

Indoors, Envy Abode crafted a custom-designed modern kitchen featuring top-of-the-line European appliances. Enhanced with engineered timber floors complete with acoustic underlay, the interiors exuded both charm and practicality.

“The key thing we were looking for was the consistency in the pricing that we received, having the right team to be able to problem solve when an issue arose, they did it in a very calm and measured manner. They're a great team and we worked so well together, had we done the design with Envy it would have saved us 6 months minimum
