Step Down House designed by Bijl Architecture<\/a><\/strong>. A Sydney federation home<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0with a modern extension, Step Down House fluently blends\u00a0classical and contemporary. However, that\u00a0wasn\u2019t always the case. Rather\u00a0the 110-year-old home initially had\u00a0four small bedrooms and just the\u00a0one living area \u2014 a challenge for a\u00a0family\u00a0with a social teenage daughter!<\/p>\n

So, with the desire to modernise their\u00a0home and create a second living area,\u00a0Linda Burger and her partner Michael undertook a nine month redevelopment, which included the creation of a second lounge room, a master bedroom, a large rear verandah, a modernised swimming pool and Linda\u2019s\u00a0favourite,\u00a0a\u00a0rear extension\u00a0that\u00a0gave way to\u00a0a combined living\/dining\/kitchen area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the sunny kitchen\/dining area which drops down four steps to ground level, bringing the landscaped gardens into the living area. Its lofty, industrial feel is derived from the high ceilings, whitewashed bare brick feature wall and polished concrete kitchen island, all of which is softened by cedar woodwork (window frames and shelves) and bar stools<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While the classical style at\u00a0the front of the house\u00a0was retained, the focal point has certainly become the extension, with the polished concrete island being a particular highlight.<\/p>\n
