This Greenlake area home is the result of an extensive collaboration with the owners to recapture the architectural character of the 1920’s and 30’s era craftsman homes built in the neighborhood. Deep overhangs, notched rafter tails, and timber brackets are among the architectural elements that communicate this goal. Given its modest 2800 sf size, the home sits comfortably on its corner lot and leaves enough room for an ample back patio and yard. An open floor plan on the main level and a centrally located stair maximize space efficiency, something that is key for a construction budget that values intimate detailing and character over size.

The owners’ brief was to keep all the rooms and have thematic designs for the different spaces i.e. Peranakan style for the common area and 3 distinct themes for the bedrooms based on their favourite places of travel (i.e. Santorini, Japan and the Ranomafana National Park in Madagascar. For the master bedroom and bath, the design focused on re-creating the vacation accommodation which the clients’ stayed in during their trip and retained its iconic blue and white hues.

The home features a bar area with a dishwasher and wine fridge. This is a wet bar with plenty of storage for glasses. The cabinets are a dark blue with gold fixtures.
