A Hamptons inspired home makeover.
Our client had recently purchased this home and it was in need of some updating to ensure it was safe for her two young children and designed for her to enjoy. The space on top of the garage was unused, unsafe and not a visually appealing facade for the front of the house. We built the deck and pergola off the front of the house and had the asbestos brick cladding removed from all external walls and replaced with James Hardie Weatherboard cladding.
We built the deck and pergola on top of the existing garage. Sliding doors from the home exit onto the deck and make this space an extension of the living room. The white roof sheets allow lots of natural light to still filter through and the open space of the deck is perfect for relaxing on. We used Timbertech composite decking boards for the deck which are low maintenance, extremely durable and one of the most natural looking boards on the market.
Cladding the entire house completely changed the look and feel of the home. We used James Hardie Linea Weatherboard and had it painted white to truly bring a Hamptons inspired feel to it. James Hardie weatherboard cladding is resistant to shrinking, swelling, cracking and works so well on expansive external walls. You can really see the transformation through some of these before shots.
The Final Result
By cladding the entire house, we not only made it more visually appealing, we also added lots of value to the property. Building the new enclosed pergola with the timber handrails allowed our client to have a safe space for her and her children to enjoy. The clean, crisp white lines of the handrails, pergola roof and cladding all tie in perfectly with one another to create a seamless Hamptons, coastal style home.
