MODERN FAMILY
RENOVATION

Gordon St, Eleebana.

The Eleebana renovation is a comprehensive transformation of an existing family home in Lake Macquarie, reimagined to better suit modern living while retaining the original structure.

The project involved a considered reconfiguration of the internal layout, introducing new and upgraded bedrooms and bathrooms, a redesigned staircase, and high-level windows to bring in increased natural light throughout. Open-plan living spaces were created to improve the connection between kitchen, dining and living areas, enhancing both flow and functionality.

The renovation also introduced updated kitchen and living zones, refined material selections, and improved indoor–outdoor integration, resulting in a contemporary family home that balances comfort, practicality and modern design.
