Margie’s Dream | Architects Ink

Margie’s Dream was inspired by the client's Mediterranean living experience and their desire for a resort style addition and lifestyle, seeking peace and tranquillity.
It involved the restoration of a sandstone villa and an addition to the rear. The site in leafy College Park, sits alongside other historic homes. As part of the restoration, carefully detailed joinery, white walls, and marble wet areas compliment traditional elements and hint of what is to come.
The restored villa opens to stippled white walls, natural light, and limestone. Transparency and connectivity, as well as the play with light and volume, are recurring themes.
Four courtyards draw on ancient principals to capture the light and the passing of time. There is always a place to suit the occupants’ needs. These courtyards enable the spaces to connect and flow, from old to new, from indoor to outdoor and room to room.
Unashamedly refined, the house offers seclusion and solitude to retreat and reflect. There is a connection with nature assisted by the sound of water, natural materials, and the abundance of sky. It is the home's ability to affect your mood, that makes Margie’s Dream special.
