The Ridgeway, Lisarow
Complete residential renovation focused on enhancing living functionality and indoor–outdoor flow through reconfiguration, structural alterations, and high-quality timber finishes.
The Ridgway, Lisarow project was a full-scale residential renovation centred on improving functionality, enhancing natural light, and creating a cohesive connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The transformation involved significant structural reconfiguration, allowing the home to better suit modern living while maintaining a warm, timeless aesthetic.
The project was delivered in two key stages, beginning with the conversion of an existing garage into a fully self-contained guest suite. This included the installation of new plumbing and drainage, waterproofing, tiled wet areas, and complete electrical upgrades. The space was carefully integrated with the existing home through insulation, plasterwork, and detailed finish carpentry, ensuring a seamless result.
A new triple garage was added to the property, topped with a rooftop alfresco entertaining area that captures stunning panoramic ocean views — now a standout feature of the home.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
The second stage focused on reimagining the heart of the home. An enclosed veranda was demolished to make way for a new open outdoor living area, featuring a pitched ceiling with exposed hardwood timber beams. This architectural feature became a defining element of the project, adding warmth, character, and visual continuity throughout the space.
To further enhance flow, a structural dividing wall between the kitchen and dining area was removed, requiring temporary propping and the installation of new structural support. This allowed for a more open, functional layout that connects directly to the outdoor entertaining zone.
High-quality finishes were carried throughout the home, including new hardwood timber flooring and integrated joinery that ties together the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The result is a cohesive, light-filled space that balances practicality with refined coastal styling.
About the Project
This renovation was designed to maximise liveability while creating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. By opening up the layout and introducing natural materials, the home now delivers a relaxed, coastal feel with improved functionality for everyday living and entertaining.
