“I was really impressed with Nina’s ideas for reimagining our mid-century classic home to work for our family of four.
Nina’s intelligent suggestions have delivered a home which has lots of different indoor and outdoor living spaces in a relatively small sized home. Nina is a genius with colour and can select a palate of colours that just make you feel happy. The kitchen is beautifully designed and wonderful to use. During the build, she was able to work with our builder and pool contractor to find solutions to any problems to fit our budget and timeframe.” — Sarah F
1965 Home of the Future designed by Leif Kristensen lives on as a fabulous modernist courtyard house.
This house was originally designed as part of a competition for The Womens Weekly Home of the Future, 1965 by Lief Kristensen. The original building is a modest grid plan with a central courtyard.
The house had undergone several alterations and the original intent of the plan was diluted and was in a state of disrepair. Instead of knocking down the building, the clients who have a young family, decided to renovate and wanted to explore options for improving spatial, structural and privacy issues
