Originally constructed in the late 1960s, the Dale Street House designed by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd is a renovation of mid-century modern home, characterized by its bluestone walls, low and flat rooflines, and exposed ceilings and beams. While the clients appreciated the clean lines and timeless charm of the bluestone, the home’s small, disconnected living spaces and limited natural light fell short of their needs. They also required additional bedrooms, expanded living areas for a growing family, and an inviting alfresco and pool area. Photography by Elise Scott.
