With soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor–outdoor flow, the extension creates the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining.

The Dawson Project showcases a thoughtful extension and renovation of a character-rich, aging house, masterfully blending contemporary design with the home's original charm. The primary focus of the project was on transforming the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a modern, open-plan space designed for contemporary living.

The extension features high raking ceilings and strategically positioned skylights, which infuse these key areas with natural light and create a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. The new kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly into a spacious outdoor living area, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

In tandem with the extension, the existing rooms have been reimagined as cozy, functional bedrooms, allowing for enhanced privacy and a more refined living experience. This thoughtful reconfiguration ensures that the new extension integrates harmoniously with the original structure, maintaining the home's character while providing modern comforts.

The result is a beautifully cohesive home that respects its heritage while embracing contemporary design, offering a perfect balance of old-world charm and modern convenience
