Alex Porebski from award-winning design studio Porebski Architects has worked his magic on this California bungalow with a dynamic redesign and showstopping visual confidence that marks a new style chapter for the 1920s classic. On the high side of a tree-lined avenue, the single-storey home has been designed to embrace the outdoors with a dramatic pavilion-style extension that emphasises the lush greenery of the garden beyond and frames a wide open outlook with big sky views that are magic at sunset. The bold use of colour brings a sophisticated feel to the interiors and defines the private and social areas of the home with Black Japan floorboards and crisp white walls creating a stylish feel in the accommodation zone. Conceived as the heart of the home, the living pavilion features soaring 3.8m high ceilings and polished concrete floors and is anchored by a streamlined island kitchen with steel-framed doors opening out to a private entertainer's deck. Just 500m to Kensington Park and a short walk to the light rail and UNSW, the four-bedroom home is an easy 6km trip into the city and within easy reach of the Randwick village, schools and Coogee Beach.
