Appearing single storey from the street frontage with respect for its neighbours, this new double storey home makes the most of a tight and restrictive site. Expansive and light filled entertaining areas are surrounded by courtyards which help to define the open plan spaces.

The scale of this new residence sits comfortably in the street while providing a sense of grandeur and lightness behind its solid facade. Areas of height bring natural light down into key gathering points of the house. The arrangement of spaces finds the happy medium between the degree of separation versus connection that is needed for the three generations to live in harmony.

A large, light filled and lofty living area was added to the rear of an existing 3 bedroom weatherboard house. The arrangement of space provided the owners (and their cat) with sunny internal spaces and useful connections to a variety of outdoor spaces.
