"A renovation for another level, this addition utilises the existing steel structure to elevate two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a garden above the low-lying existing single-storey house. Responding to the expressed client brief for space, light, and air, the additional level breathes new life into the tight site without inhibiting views out across the neighbouring rooftops."
"Set around a multi-faceted highlight window detail, the new spaces are given the air they deserve, providing the family with a new dimension of liveability while minimising the destruction and waste of the existing building."
A renovation project adds a new level to an existing single-story house by leveraging the existing steel structure. The addition accommodates two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a garden space, addressing the client's priorities for increased space, natural light, and air circulation. The design preserves views across neighboring rooftops while avoiding unnecessary destruction of the existing building. A distinctive multi-faceted highlight window serves as a central design feature, flooding the new spaces with natural light. This approach enhances the family's living experience by introducing a new dimension of livability while maintaining sustainability through minimal waste and preservation of the original structure.
