Ardmore Road
By Ardmore Architects
This formerly neglected home is situated in the Herne Bay Avenues. The brief for this project was challenging: create a six car garage with a bar on the lower level, completely reconfigure the house to provide for an indoor-outdoor kitchen and pool area, without detracting from the heritage values of the villa and remaining within the rules of the Conservation overlay and Residentual 1 zoning.
Our Solution
A significant excavation including engineered retention of the working fireplaces on the first floor. To accommodate tight vehicle parking, a turntable was recessed into the garage floor.
The upper level was given a complete makeover, and the existing lean-too roof removed, the pitch of the living room roof extruded out, and new bathrooms, ensuites, and a new indoor-outdoor kitchen created on the sheltered side of the house, enjoying the morning sun.
The Result
The result is a restored heritage home when view from the street, with discreet garaging and a modernist home at the rear which opens up completely to flow into the landscaped rear yard.

Ardmore Architects: Building relationships, not just homes
We'll listen carefully and take the time to understand what you want. Then we will explore the options, and find the best way to achieve it. To answer the next question of how much will it cost, we recommend engaging early on, a Quantity Surveyor to prepare a project-specific estimate of cost. It may then mean massaging the intial scope of work to ensure there is a happy balance of 'needs and wants' to ensure your budget is managed.
