4 Davenport Street

Ainslie ACT 2602

There were two major considerations -
Firstly, what is it that makes a building worth keeping? Especially in a current climate where it is all too easy to knock it down, and sometimes difficult to find the beauty in an ex-government style envelope.
And secondly, what does the modern family look for in a home in 2017? What does a city dwelling, urban existing person, value the most?
This is obviously going to be different for each individual and we all value different elements in a home, however it was decided that there were key elements that were 'non negotiables' - the kitchen, two living areas and a connectedness to the outdoors.
It is always so exciting to work collaboratively with clients, listen to their vision, understand their hopes and desires and watch their ideas shape into a reality. The continued dialogue with Jane and Chris throughout the journey of the renovation, has been so worthwhile and a thought provoking experience.
As a result, 4 Davenport Street is a modern re-model to an outdated Ainslie residence. It is now relevant, attractive, intimate and functional!
You'll love it. Just like I do each time I visit and reflect on how the ideas and vision have come to life. I love the generous entry, two separate accommodation wings, a large main bedroom and stylish en suite, and loads of storage... so much storage in this home! A cleverly integrated study in what was a small dark bedroom, now offers a quiet, reflective space where one can watch the world go by. Two open and light filled living areas that connect with the back garden, with green lawn, it is a delightful and safe place for kids to play.
Life has taken a turn, as it does, with Jane and Chris expecting their first child, they have decided to sell their Davenport Street house.
