"If you want a more interesting life, you couldn't do better than live within fine architecture"...
great words and relates very well to this fabulous Architect Bernard Gleeson designed townhouse. This mid-century icon captures the sense of optimism and architectural innovation of the period and would've been quite Avant-garde at the time with the solid masonry construction, concrete mid-span floors, and cantilevered outdoor deck, while the feature spiral staircase is a stunner and leads up to the second living area that would make an ideal office/studio or work from home suite while also offering a glimpse of Hamilton Lake. Having already completed 3 other sympathetic transformations of architectural icons of similar era within the city, the owner was not daunted with the task ahead and enlisted the talents of award winning Designer Robin Caudwell to assist with the kitchen and main bathroom design, as he'd collaborated so well on previous projects. Sympathetically renovating an architectural home requires understanding the importance of the original design, and a purposefully restrained interior palette ensures the essence of the original home is retained, while new contemporary elements were introduced to meet today's modern needs. Our appetite for modernist architecture continues to grow decades after it's heyday. The style has inspired legions of devotees with its purist ethos, and it's easy to see why - form follows function, flowing space, natural light and truth to the materials used.
Forget living in mass produced 'vanilla' housing options on offer - "Good design lives here - and so should you !"
