We blended the renovations to this Camp Hill property seamlessly with the existing home. Our aim as renovation architects brisbane was to improve the overall liveability of the property. Our clients wanted a multi-functional outdoor space that could be used for outdoor lounging and dining year-round.

What’s more, this space had to be large enough to accommodate an outdoor kitchen zone and dining area that could comfortably entertain up to 24 people. Not only did these lifestyle renovations drastically improve the functionality of the home but they also improved the streetscape of this quaint property. The new extension comprises an outdoor terrace connecting to an enclosed sunroom through bi-fold doors.

This new outdoor entertaining area, with a kitchenette, provides an immersive indoor/outdoor home experience. This is perfect for alfresco entertaining without any direct exposure to the elements. A new separate outdoor lounge also provides a calming private sanctuary that the family can enjoy year-round.
