Expansion for growing family

This north facing rear addition has been designed as two side-by-side pavilions, one private containing the master bedroom suite, bathroom and laundry; the other public, containing the open plan living/kitchen opening onto a covered rear deck. Large areas of glazing are protected from summer sun, yet devised to harness the thermal benefits of the winter sun, while re orientating the living space towards the garden.

“Amanda is an exceptional architect. We interviewed several architects for our renovation and Amanda was the clear stand out. She understands how to maximise space, is masterful with maximising natural light and goes above and beyond throughout the entire design process. The first time we met Amanda she immediately picked up on site specific challenges and opportunities that other architects missed. For instance, Amanda was able to immediately rule out a complying development approach based on eyeballing the width of our block, possible through her deep knowledge of council and planning regulations. Prior to engaging Amanda she built us a cardboard model of her proposed design, carried out previous DA searches on the property to identify information that could assist in the development application process and provided transparent information on pricing. Amanda kept us informed on a near real-time basis throughout the design process via Slack, with dedicated channels for different aspects of the project. She assisted with the building tender process, and helped us visualise the eventual design with phenomenal 3D renders. During the build Amanda made herself available to assist with any enquiries and was very generous with her time. Amanda cares about the end result, is a masterful designer and we are very grateful to have had her on our team!”
