Thoughtfully designed extension and renovation of a 1950s house in Castlecrag, featuring a green roof, oversized north-facing doors, and a modest addition that harmonizes with its historic surroundings.

This is an extension and renovation to a 1950’s house in Castlecrag, Sydney. The aim was to integrate the additions into the existing structure as much as possible in order to create a house that sits comfortably in the neighbourhood. It had to be a modest, restrained addition as it sat between important houses designed by Walter Burley Griffin.

It is a simple kitchen/dining/living space with a planted green roof. There are oversized doors that open up to the north and a small pool that sits to the west.

Professional Reviews

1 / 6

“I engaged Erik Rudolfsson and his team of architects after a competitive design process with three architectural firms to work with me to design a complex redevelopment of my property in Vaucluse. Erik and his team did outstanding conceptual and detailed design work over many months to bring to life my vision for the property. The dedication, commitment to the task, and attention to detail they showed was incredible. They also oversaw the difficult build process, managed the interface with the builder and engineer very well and have continued to be responsive well after the initial project was completed. Erik’s professionalism and depth of knowledge and understanding of the intricate details of real-world construction techniques has been a key component in solving the numerous issues that arose as a matter-of-course during the construction, and in making the project successful. We have now worked together on aspects of this project for over three years and I would not hesitate to give RAAa my highest recommendation.”
