Most advice was to demolish and start again, but family roots and a love of Mid Century Design helped save this home
What a fantastic project—made even better by our wonderful clients, Lisa & Richard. Their home, cherished by the family for generations, carries a deep sense of history that only grows with time. Retaining strong neighbourhood connections, lifelong friendships, and support networks was a key priority as they prepared for this new chapter.
Located on a large, irregularly shaped block in West Pennant Hills, part of Sydney’s North-West Growth Corridor and Metro catchment, the home enjoys a prime location. With shops, schools, and transport infrastructure all within walking distance, it remains an ideal place to live. Positioned further back from the street, the house benefits from a more expansive rear garden—a hidden gem that was previously underutilized.
Originally, access to the garden was awkward, requiring a winding path through the home, past bathrooms and the kitchen—an outdated layout from a time when gardens were seen as spaces for children and laundry rather than extensions of the living environment.
