Experimental House.

When purchased, the Owners were fully aware that the small, semi-detached brick dwelling was never going to be able to accommodate their young and growing family.

The brief for our studio was to transform the tired 2x bedroom double brick house into a bright and airy 4x bedroom entertainer's home with clear zoning between private and public. New living spaces had to be bright and adopt passive heating and cooling principles. Adding to what was already a very challenging brief, were the clients' very specific instruction that it had to be achieved across a single-story floorplate and private open spaces had to exceed the minimum authority requirements - all this had to be achieved on a narrow 390sq.m block..... with a south-facing rear!
