This contemporary residential extension was designed by alsoCAN Architects to maximise city views, featuring a glass roof hatch and a stunning roof deck. Vertical blades strategically screen neighbouring properties while offering panoramic views of the surrounding urban landscape.

The design also includes a second roof deck accessible from a bedroom and a sunny courtyard nestled between the garage and living room. 

The interior boasts a sophisticated black and white colour scheme, complemented by recycled brick exteriors. 

To add a personal touch, a travel photograph of the homeowner was printed onto the glass kitchen splashback, creating a unique focal point in the space.

About the
Professional

alsoCAN

To broaden our design skills alsoCAN is a multi-disciplined studio. We keep learning so we can put more design into practice. So far, Architecture, can; Urban Design, can; Web Design, also can.

Our architectural practice draws on over 25 years of experience in individually designed houses & larger-scale residential, institutional & commercial projects in Melbourne, Singapore & Brisbane.

alsoCAN's architectural designs have been imagined, designed & drawn in 3 dimensions since the beginnings of BIM computer modelling in the 1990s. There is no disconnect between the spatial volumes of the design & the plans, elevations, and sections all in the one 3-D model. For many other architects, this is a new way of thinking.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
