Vision + design transform Dalkeith house design into a contemporary + spacious entertaining hub for Dalkeith family.
Dalkeith house design brief
A western suburbs professional couple engage Threadgold Architecture for a Dalkeith house design. The practice was engaged to transform the living spaces of an existing residential house in the inner City suburb of Dalkeith. The architectural design was to accommodate the professional couple with two teenage children and guests at regular catering events.
Dalkeith house design aesthetics
The brief required a dramatic contemporary aesthetic shift from the existing building fabric of the Dalkeith house. The brief required catering for the couple’s extensive entertaining and social functions associated with Saint Hilda’s Anglican School, Mosman Park. The scope of the residential alterations and additions included the kitchen, living, dining, theatre, alfresco, powder, bedroom, bath and ensuite spaces – with structural changes to the slab on ground and external walls and roof. The complexity of the alterations required the family to relocate during the works and specify a staged practical completion in the building contract.
The architectural commission included superintendence of the construction phase and all associated AIA contract correspondence. The builder’s commitments to other unrelated projects resulted in a significant over-run on the construction program. At practical completion, the owners were awarded a significant amount of liquidated damages from the retention monies by Threadgold Architecture.
Dalkeith house design finishes
Eastern States Blackbutt timber floor throughout (installed by nominated sub-contractor Granwood Flooring) unifies the kitchen, living, dining and theatre areas to establish one seamless space and create a new hub for the family’s Dalkeith house. The kitchen design materials palette incorporates contemporary finishes such as; stainless steel Miele appliances throughout, Essastone benchtops with waterfall edge, white colour backed glass splashbacks and two pack epoxy cabinetwork.
