2016 CITY OF BAYSIDE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AWARDS - CATEGORY WINNER One of four Original Worker's Cottages, this project presented numerous design challenges. On a tiny and narrow block of 190 sq.m and with stringent Heritage guidelines applying to the site, the Client's brief to provide a private and modern extension with plenty of natural light was complicated by the fact their northerly aspect interfaced directly with the street. The use of modern clerestory windows and a striking brick facade captures the nuances of dappled light coming through the street tree whilst sheltering the owners from the public eye. The new entrance provides separation between the new and the old fabric whilst eliminating wasted corridor space internally The floorplan wraps around an internal courtyard which allows light to penetrate right into the heart of the house, and further adds to the sense of the home being a private sanctuary.

Professional Reviews

“From our first meeting with Damien, it was clear that we were dealing with an Architect who not only had a keen sense of space and design, but also is highly experienced in the Contract Construction Phase - his previous role as a Project Manager for a high-end residential builder was invaluable. The HONTO team was patient, meticulous and entirely engaged throughout the entire project - they demonstrated expertise and professionalism during each of the Tender, Construction and Post-Construction phases. At all times, we were kept informed of progress and in was clear that the HONTO team understood the importance of effective working relationships with the builder, subcontractors, suppliers and equally, the client, while managing the Project Budget. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending HONTO - if you envisage the house of your dreams, HONTO need to be a part of that picture!”
