Before renovation – a 1950s red-brick home with lovely gardens. 
The feel of a carefully designed new home which complements the gardens. 
A light-filled, spacious entry and stairway can create an immediate impression of warmth, comfort and style in a new home. 
The design of a dormer-style window adds light and volume to the space. 
An open plan area provides flexibility for the family.
Light streaming through the centre of the house enhances the sense of space. 
By maintaining a consistent approach to a design, the entire house has a cohesive sense of integration. 
Simplicity in room design and furnishings is always an elegant combination. 
Creative lighting and a balance of solid and translucent materials can create a sense of drama and beauty. 
The second level is only apparent from the rear to maintain street appeal.
Words from our client
Fantastic
Martin Kolarik was instrumental in the design and documentation of our family home renovations a few years ago and I have pleasure in recommending his professional services.
Martin was quick to understand how far we had progressed in our thoughts and then from his enquiries understood our lifestyle, needs by way of spaces, and the image of the completed home that we had in our minds. The end product of the design process is evidenced by the photos and by the recent design award from the BDA.
We agreed to Martin putting his thoughts to a concept design which was promptly returned for discussion, “fiddled with” and when the final concept was agreed, he immediately moved to the formal plan phase. Martin was a regular communicator so at all times we were aware of the progress and any issues quickly settled. I did not realise the depth of information required within a design for a council approval / builder specs which Martin completed faultlessly and timely.
I highly recommend Martin to all home builders/renovators for his total professional services to us were fantastic, we are very satisfied and we are so grateful for his assistance.
