Mid-century courtyard home

A mid-century home renewed around its central courtyard — terrazzo floors, a teal kitchen, timber-lined ceilings and full-height glazing to the garden.

The project

Brighton

Mid-century houses are all about the connection to outside. Full-height glazing opens the living spaces back up to the courtyard, the ceilings are lined in timber, and terrazzo and a deep teal kitchen come in that suit the era without copying it.

What the work involves

  • Re-plan of living, kitchen and dining around the courtyard
  • Full-height glazing and sliding doors
  • Timber-lined ceilings with a new skylight
  • Terrazzo-look floors
  • Teal lacquered kitchen with stone-look benchtops

Start to finish

Every stage of the build

The parts of a job that decide how it lasts — demolition, framing, services and waterproofing — are the parts you never see once it's finished. Here they are.

  1. Stage 1 of 3

    Before

    The existing room or site, before any work begins.

  2. Stage 2 of 3

    During construction

    Strip-out, structure and services, then fit-out — the stages most clients never see.

  3. Stage 3 of 3

    Completed

    The finished result at handover.
