Itty Bitty House

Our Itty Bitty House was from two young lovely couple who have bought a single-story old house, then to realised that they struggled to find a satisfying space after moving in. They have engaged with us in the hope to transform their home into a beautiful architectural house where they could invite friends to their home for a good get-together. They also wish to have a good view of the stunning Melbourne CBD Skyline.

With the small frontage of only 4.88metre and the existing wall on boundaries to the abutting lot, we decided to extend their living up higher. Our design removed the walls that restrict the occupant’s movements around the house while replacing the old with an open concept Kitchen, Living, and Dining area on the ground floor. Then, we created a first floor to add in a new family hall, Master Bedroom with an attached Ensuite, and Walk-in Robe.

It becomes even much more satisfying when we added an open roof terrace. The couple will be the only house from Whitehall Street being able to view the stunning CBD Skyline right from their rooftop. Moreover, these rooftop vertical timber battens designed in an up and down sequence blend so well with the CBD Skyline.

This all-white rooftop home with its beautiful Green wall makes perfection to our design. Overall, we have maintained its existing heritage texture while gradually transforming the upper stories to simple modern Architecture.

“I was given the confidence and trust by Sky hence hiring him to design my new house just by the marina. My journey with Sky started more than 3 years ago. Every step of the way, Sky had given me the clarity and best effort on all building and design aspects. I have to admit that I am not an easy client for I bomb Sky with numerous calls during weekends, public holidays, and after hours. Yes, Sky was ever willing to listen and help me with my queries. To be honest, I was hunting for an architect and had wasted some small fortune with two prior so-called architects. I am glad I found Sky as his experiences, dedication, and attention to detail are unmatched! Sky had helped me through from my house design to acquiring a planning permit, which was unbelievably difficult, and even administered my whole building project. There were a massive amount of challenges due to unforeseen circumstances but Sky was able to assist in resolving them amicably in terms of timeline and cost.”
