This 1920s bungalow in North Randwick has been updated to suit a young family. A 70s renovation has been carefully removed from the original house, and a new brick addition has been added. The existing house is highly decorative to the street: it is rendered and modelled with some complex corbelling and fretwork. In contrast, the sides of the house are completely utilitarian face brickwork. This face brickwork treatment has been extended into a rear-yard addition housing the living spaces of the house and connecting with the garden. Framed by irregular openings, the garden views develop a new decorative language for the rear elevation.
