In collaboration with Metropolis Design, this minimalist bungalow on Clifton 3rd Beach underwent a remarkable transformation. By mining granite beneath the existing structure, a new lower ground floor was added to the original bungalow. The outcome is a cool and contemporary four-bedroom dwelling that defies its compact site by offering a sense of spaciousness. The simple cube-shaped form of this environmentally-modest design further reveals intricate detailing, textures, and premium materials meticulously incorporated to provide a luxuriously rich living experience for its owners.
