Bijl Architecture has designed a modern extension for the ‘Lacuna House’, that’s located in Sydney, Australia.
The house received an updated interior that blends in with the new extension, creating a haven away from a busy work life, and a safe home in which to raise children.

Stepping inside, and off the hallway from the front door, is a bedroom that looks out onto the street, while the bedroom was extended to include an ensuite bathroom and walk in robe.

On the opposite side of the hallway, there’s a second bedroom with built-in cabinets and a desk that looks out to the front garden.

Next to bedroom is a bathroom that combines a wood vanity and a blue-grey tile accent wall for modern appearance.

Also located off the hallway is a new central library room, that serves as a TV and playroom, that can transform into a media and reading room as children grow and mature.

At the end of the hallway, the home opens up into a large dining, kitchen, and living room.

Between the dining area and the kitchen is a door that opens to reveal a hidden pantry with a wine fridge.

In the kitchen, minimalist white cabinets sit flush with the walls, while the island provides additional counter space and open shelving for recipe books.

Opposite the kitchen is the living room, that features plenty of windows, and a wall with wood-lined alcoves for the television and shelving.

Both the kitchen and the living room open to the patio that has an outdoor kitchen, a covered dining area, and space for a couple of comfy outdoor chairs. Timber slats help to provide privacy from the neighbors.

The design of the cabana also has wood slats that complement the wood slats on the house.
