Looking at the traditional Victorian facade of Kylie Brammy and George
Kyprianou’s home, you would never imagine it hid such a modern derrière. Brammy
and Kyprianou bought the North Adelaide house in 1999 because they loved its
charm and location on the city edge. They hardly touched the front of the house
which consisted of sandstone and brick with galvanized iron ornamentation. Less
desirable was its tiny kitchen, dark living spaces, and badly positioned
restroom, just three feet from the dining table.
The couple engaged with both an architect (Troppo Architects) and an
interior designer to collaborate on a renovation and two-story extension, they
managed to open up the interior and transform the back of the house into an airy
and light-filled retreat. The shape of the roof eave on the back of the house
is designed to allow winter sun into the house while cutting out the hot summer
sun.
