Transformation of a Victorian terraced house with a contemporary two-storey addition, featuring open-plan living spaces and a seamless connection to the garden, while celebrating the raw texture of existing materials.

BREEZEWAY

This Victorian terraced house was in a very ‘original’ and somewhat dilapidated condition. The intrusive single-storey rear addition was replaced with a new full width two storey addition containing open plan living spaces and a kitchen addressing a rear covered entertaining deck and garden. The clients envisaged creating a sense of openness and uninterrupted views through to the rear garden from the entry sequence. Their vision also encapsulated the existing brick of the adjoining boundary wall, appreciating its industrial, raw texture in contrast to the smooth, natural tones of plywood wall cladding. The simple material expression informs the rear elevation which works hard to conceal its inner workings to achieve a simple elegant form.

Client feedback:

“Amanda is an exceptional architect. We interviewed several architects for our renovation and Amanda was the clear stand out. She understands how to maximise space, is masterful with maximising natural light and goes above and beyond throughout the entire design process. The first time we met Amanda she immediately picked up on site specific challenges and opportunities that other architects missed. For instance, Amanda was able to immediately rule out a complying development approach based on eyeballing the width of our block, possible through her deep knowledge of council and planning regulations. Prior to engaging Amanda she built us a cardboard model of her proposed design, carried out previous DA searches on the property to identify information that could assist in the development application process and provided transparent information on pricing. Amanda kept us informed on a near real-time basis throughout the design process via Slack, with dedicated channels for different aspects of the project. She assisted with the building tender process, and helped us visualise the eventual design with phenomenal 3D renders. During the build Amanda made herself available to assist with any enquiries and was very generous with her time. Amanda cares about the end result, is a masterful designer and we are very grateful to have had her on our team!”
