Hunters Hill

Heritage Sandstone Home Renovation

A considered transformation of a historic Hunters Hill sandstone residence, this project brings together heritage character and contemporary luxury. State Developments carefully integrated a sophisticated new addition with the original home, creating a seamless residence that respects its history while delivering refined, modern family living. Every element was thoughtfully executed to balance architectural integrity, craftsmanship and contemporary functionality.

The Brief

Transform the existing historic sandstone residence into a sophisticated, modern family home while preserving and respecting the character and heritage qualities of the original building. The brief was to ensure the completed home felt cohesive and intentional, rather than appearing as an old house with a new addition attached.

Our Approach

A sensitive approach to the existing sandstone structure, retaining its defining heritage character.
Carefully considered integration of the contemporary addition with the original residence.
A refined material palette combining natural sandstone, rendered finishes and extensive glazing.
A contemporary glass roof creating a light-filled transition between old and new.
Bespoke detailing and meticulous craftsmanship throughout to achieve a cohesive, high-end finish.
Extensive glazing used across balustrades, doors and verandahs to create openness and strong connections between spaces.
Modern services and luxury finishes integrated without compromising the architectural character of the home.
Careful construction and excavation works undertaken alongside the existing structure and neighbouring properties.
