To take advantage of city views, this addition has a glass roof hatch and roof deck. Vertical blades screen views down to neighbouring properties while allowing sweeping views across the roofscape. There is a second roof deck over the dining room accessed off a bedroom, and a sunny courtyard between the garage and living room.
A black and white colour scheme inside, and black and recycled brick externally. The owner is a keen traveller so we printed one of her travel photographs onto the glass kitchen splashback. We photoshopped it into a high-contrast black & white image.

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.
