Retaining the original charm of the 1930s Victorian-era
heritage was the key to the renovation project. Oliver Andrew
Associates carved key connections between the inside and
outside, as existing heritage elements were given new life
while preserving and celebrating its storied past. To amplify
the airiness and connectivity to the surroundings, a neutral
colour scheme was utilised throughout the design. While
reserving a highly constrained heritage site, the OAA team
took a highly crafted approach by extending the pool and a
multi-purpose room that embraces the courtyard, complementary
to the primordial feature of the land and for the continuity
of the legacy.
