Gambrel House

Brief:
The existing home is a sweet but dated traditional home with a Gambrel style roof, with the living upstairs and bedrooms downstairs.

My clients wanted the living and kitchen downstairs, with flowing spaces and bedrooms upstairs. They also wanted the tandem carport replaced with a double garage, storage and a pool.

Solution:
We kept the gambrel style roof and demolished much of the back at the lower level so it could be rebuilt with more space for a deck to the north and to utilise some wasted south-facing space to the side.

In the front, we widened a front bedroom and converted it to a garage with traditional looking tilt doors. On the other side, we added an entry and entry porch, which was needed and helped to balance the house by making it symmetrical.

We extended the gambrel upper level to the rear for a large master suite with a balcony. The overall styling of the completed home is Hampton's inspired in white and grey.

About the
Professional

Homes are our Specialty.

I'm an architect that loves homes. Homes are my passion and where we've specialised for the last 20 years in Sydney. I don't have a style, I don't need one, because it's not about me, it's all about you, your family, your dreams and your home.

I have a small professional team and access to some of the best builders in Sydney. Together we know how to get a project through DA or Complying Development or both.

Our passion is to create a home our clients love, right down to the interior fit-out, lighting, colours and materials. Bespoke and individual, stylish and classic, or just the way you want it.

We listen to what you want so that your home is designed to suit your life.

See your vision come alive early in the process with our detailed 3D design modelling. When our clients can explore their home on a computer or tablet, we find our clients can move the process forward more quickly and with greater confidence.

To better manage your budget, we built an online building cost calculator, which anyone can use. It's detailed but quick and straightforward and is a great way to start the design process and update the costing as you go.

Partial + Full Service Architects.

We offer the full range of services - pre-purchase advice, feasibility, concept design, approvals, interior & lighting design, tender documentation, source builders, site works, all on hourly rates with estimates). We do not use percentage fees, so our scope of work is as flexible as you need it to be.

You can use us for every stage of the process, or not, it's up to you. We are available as you need us.

I'm personally involved in every project. I love the challenging jobs, the problematic sites, and looking for ways to give you more than you're allowed.

We love sustainable / energy-efficient/ passive solar, design for bushfire, traditional style, Hampton's, Georgian, Contemporary, Minimalist Balinese, P&O, and simple beach house style homes.

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.
