Situated in the laid-back lakeside town of Lake Macquarie, this whole-house transformation breathes new life into an existing weatherboard cottage. Carefully enveloping the original structure, the renovation includes the addition of a second story, a new shed area, and a monumental facelift. This meticulous project not only preserves the charm of the cottage but elevates it into a contemporary and expansive residence, seamlessly blending the nostalgic with the modern. The result is a harmonious coexistence of the old and the new, creating a transformative living space that resonates with the tranquil essence of its lakeside surroundings. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Queenslander style, the design incorporates elements that echo the timeless charm of this architectural tradition, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors. This integration of large curves not only captures the beauty of the surrounding views but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the structure, creating a living space that embodies the unique character and warmth
