Dawe Rd.

This project involved a fair amount of preliminary liaising with the architect to fine tune construction details and inclusions so that all parties were happy with the scope and budget.

A modern, split level, modern double storey extension at the back of an existing home on a sloping block with limited backyard access created challenges that were worked through to create a great result.

The extension design includes clever use of steel framing and large glazed sections that make the most of the bush reserve behind the property and give a feeling that the back of the house opens onto a multi level Blackbutt deck with various staircases that melds into the bush.

The main features include externally exposed steelwork with angled highlight windows and supersized stacker doors that hug the frame with minimal infills, engineered flooring to the new lower storey kitchen/living area including the staircase leading to the lower floor, feature panelled internal walls and a oversized custom sliding units, one that recesses into the wall and another panel profiled externally mounted barn door.
