A compact 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home featuring an industrially trussed roof, a rooftop main bedroom suite, and innovative light wells for enhanced natural light and ventilation, all built on a tight site from salvaged elements of a crumbling semi.
Glebe Park House involved salvaging a front room and a half from a crumbling semi all else was beyond repair. The subsequent rebuild on a tight site allowed for a super compact 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with a basement and grand living spaces under an industrially trussed roof. The rebuild allowed a semi model to be re-imagined as a home to suit a growing family. The design opportunity allowed for the roof to lift up to the North, a main bedroom suite to be located on the rooftop and incised light wells to flood the ground floor bedrooms with light and cross ventilation.
