By De Moyer Architecture
This Vaucluse park-side residence already had it all, however it lacked the more modern aspect of connection and flow between the various areas.The design focused on relocating the pool from the shady rear to the sunny front yard and expanding the existing garage at street level. This allowed existing rooms and spaces to be logically connected to the new areas without invasive remodelling, whilst also allowing for simplified vertical access between the levels of the house and significantly improving the amenity of all areas.
This concentrated approach minimised the extent of the construction area, largely safe-guarding the established residence. The new front garden, pool and pool house, make for an improved private open space, elevated above street level and retaining its tranquil and leafy park-side setting. Converting parts of the steep roof as an accessible attic open up some harbour views over the park.
At De Moyer Architecture, we work on a variety of different building types, mostly single dwelling residential houses. These are often homes, but also holiday houses, weekenders or investment properties. The house styles vary as much as our clients do, however where suitable we prefer a contemporary, modern aesthetic and an approach that eschews trends and will stand the test of time. Many projects have been alterations, additions, new builds and some adaptations.
A growing number of our projects are situated in heritage conservation areas, which adds another layer of complexity to building controls and design options. Most of our work is within Sydney’s East and we know the surrounding Councils well, but we are always open to interesting projects and have ventured well beyond the city limits.
Our preference is always to provide a full service from Concept Design to the finished Build, but we can provide individual and tailored services as required. The projects featured are a cross-section of past, current and future work we are involved with.
