A 60-year-old Whitefield property transformed. We retained the original foundation while reimagining the interiors with minimalist, light-filled volumes and reclaimed materials.

The entrance to 'A House Reborn' is marked by a long driveway framed by a creeper-laden pergola. This green corridor creates a peaceful transition from the city into the private sanctuary of the home.

The exterior of the renovated house, showing the interplay of open verandas and solid white walls. The design creates a strong connection to the garden, with large openings that blur the boundary between inside and out.

A view of the home's exterior, where clean white geometric forms interact with the lush garden. The design includes shaded outdoor living spaces that are integrated with the landscape.

The open-plan living and dining area is designed as one continuous space. A double-height window in the living room and large openings in the dining area ensure the home is filled with light and connected to the outdoors.

The living room is defined by a double-height, hand-painted mural depicting local foliage. This artistic feature brings the essence of the garden indoors, complemented by spherical pendant lights and comfortable, modern furniture.

Another view of the living area, where a rocking chair sits before the large foliage mural. This corner is designed as a quiet space for reflection, connecting with the home's artistic and natural themes.

Looking from the dining area into the living room, this view highlights the open, flowing nature of the ground floor. The mural acts as a stunning backdrop, unifying the different zones of the space.

The dining area is situated next to a courtyard, with large windows that let in natural light. The material palette is a mix of patterned heritage floor tiles and a modern marble-topped dining table.

We created this cozy reading corner with a built-in wooden window seat. The butterfly chair and large windows, filtered by sheer curtains, make it a perfect spot to relax with a book in the afternoon sun.

About A House Reborn: Award-Nominated Urban Renovation

Renovating a 60-year-old home requires a delicate balance between structural integrity and modern spatial needs. For this Whitefield project, we focused on dismantling the rigid, compartmentalized layout of the original build to create a continuous, open-plan ground floor. By introducing double-height ceilings and strategic skylights, we pulled natural light into the building's core, connecting the dining and living zones to the surrounding garden.
