The owners of this 1950s home rebuilt it almost entirely, retaining just the front wall
A suburban semidetached 1950s house has a spruce but unassuming exterior – but inside, it’s been transformed into a smart, uncluttered modern home in walk-in condition. An Australian couple bought it in 2017 , hired architect Seamus Keller and rebuilt the house from the front wall back – the wall is all that remains of the original house.
They also wanted warmth and the house has an A3 Ber. The house has double- and triple-glazed windows, an air-to-water heating system ensuring a regular 21 degrees and an air-circulation system that pumps fresh air into the house. There’s underfloor heating on three levels – and low electricity bills, say the owners.
To the right of the front hall is a family room the couple call the cinema room with speakers and a projector in the ceiling. There’s a built-in hall closet in the front hall, more useful storage in understairs drawers and a fully tiled toilet. Doors flush to the wall at the end of the hall can be used to close off the kitchen-dining-livingroom.
