12 - Australian Bungalow with a Modern Addition - Hillary Kidd



  

    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.
