Architect Wilko Doehring of Wilko Architecture, embarked on a journey to revive a mid-century modern home in Beaumaris. The 3-bedroom property had suffered a 1970s medieval makeover, which led to the loss of its original character.
Wilko decided on a sympathetic renovation, focusing on energy efficiency and contemporary updates. The floor plan remained mostly unchanged, but a wall separating the kitchen and dining area was removed. Insulation and a vapour barrier enhanced the home's energy efficiency, with 27 solar panels added.
Materials were carefully selected to create cohesion, combining modern touches with a nod to the home's mid-century roots, reflecting the Australian style that came after decades of dark Victorian homes.

A lovely home, and a great way to modernise without destruction. I lived next door to them for a while, and the house looked and felt right, it is a beach house.

How amazing! I'm glad Wilko bought the property, otherwise who knows what would be in its place right now.

Just perfection! Such a beautiful renovation. This style of home is so often torn apart and not properly protected.

Incredibly bright and cozy house. It so harmoniously combines the abundance of glass and a small area. And all this harmony is complemented by a simple and homely garden. I'm absolutely delighted, I've watched it a dozen times.

I really love the garden Wilko has created, it settles this mid-century home into 'Australia'.

Charming mid-century home reminds me of mid-century homes by Architect Joseph Eichler American real estate developer made the for returning soldiers and housing boom that fallowed they erected rather fast put where a economically priced home but now highly regard and sought after homes. They encouraged “indoor-outdoor” living, with outdoor atriums in the center of the home that brought in the California sunshine.

This has been perfectly restored and modernised. It’s a crying shame that so many of these wonderful examples of Australian architecture have been ignorantly demolished and replaced with unimaginative and grossly oversized dwellings.

Hello down under from St. Petersburg, Fl, USA. My house was built in 1956. I love, love, love mid-century. I am buying all mid-century furniture.

It's very cute and so well done! Though I'm itching to convert the laundry room into a 2nd full bathroom and then convert the powder room into a much smaller laundry room 😊

@3:25, I like that there is an entry rather than having the house rush up to you like an untrained puppy. @5:37, that's an odd place to put files. I don't like open plan, so wouldn't have removed the wall separating the kitchen. Overall, though, it's a subtle and not too obvious update.

I love mid-century and I like that the home is light-filled and bright. So much now is dark and grey (moody) on the inside...not very uplifting, imho.

From what kind of wood is the kitchen made of?

It's a Tasmanian Oak veneer.

Beautiful, but not my idea of a “simple dwelling.”

@SimpleDwelling 9 ай бұрын

Not being argumentative, just curious to hear why this isn’t a simple dwelling in your eyes?

Clean, uncomplicated design letting the existing architecture set the tone. Natural materials without unnecessary inappropriate adornments. The flow and decor is very simple and as you say beautiful. Relatively small footprint compared to newer larger houses.
