With a steep block in the Adelaide hills a creative solution was the answer. The design aims was to create a large family forever home that utilized the natural contours and orientation of the land . The result was a mid century modern tri – level split home that sits boldly yet comfortably within the landscape. The design enhances the natural aspects of the land reducing the need for retaining walls, letting the land flow naturally. The desirable northern aspect for the main living areas determined the orientation of the design and informed the large skillion roofs which will allow for a vast array of future solar panels and a large outdoor entertaining alfresco area. The generous entry and main central living area with views is the central hub of the home and is connected by upper and lower level bedroom zones and flows open onto a large covered alfresco area.

“I would highly recommend Yvonne Svensson Architectural Services without a moments hesitation. Last year I bought a house in South Australia, I live in Victoria. The house is in great condition but I wanted to add some personal touches – new kitchen, swimming pool, BBQ area, new floors, etc. Yvonne’s company came up in several searches and always had excellent reviews. I spoke to three architects and from my first (virtual) meeting, I felt confident that Yvonne was someone who really listened and heard my ideas and requirements. Over the next weeks and months this proved to be justified. Yvonne was so easy to work with – all done virtually because of Covid – she added excellent ideas and thoughts and was always trying to think how we could make use of what is there, so as to reduce costs. The end result are some wonderful plans that will make this a perfect home for me and my family – everyone is excited to see the end result! Yvonne has now submitted the plans to council. I have owned several properties over the years, and spent the last 7 years renovating my home in Melbourne so I have had plenty of experience with commissioning services, I know how valuable a good service is and how much pain a poor service can give you! Yvonne Svensson Architectural Services is definitely a service I would put in my “excellent” bucket.”
