Contemporary 2-storey addition enhancing a 3-bedroom home with open-plan living, natural light, and landscaped outdoor space, while preserving original architectural features.

Council – Inner West Council

This 3 bed/1 bathroom house had a series of poorly constructed lean too additions at the side and rear of the property.  The existing internal layout resulted in underutilised space and absence of natural light.

Brief Project Description

The proposal involves the demolition of the existing series of lean-too additions and the construction of a new 2-storey contemporary addition to the rear of the property.  The new edition contains a large open-plan kitchen, dining and casual living space with large bifold doors opening out onto a landscaped outdoor entertainment area.

The upstairs contains a master bedroom with ensuite, a separate bedroom & a large family bathroom.

The existing portion of the house will be stripped back to its original form.

Externally sandstone foundation will be exposed to create an architectural feature as you make your approach from the street to the new front door location.

Internally the original room layouts are, in general maintained and linked to the new addition with a corridor containing laundry facilities and ground floor bathroom.

“Brian came with a recommendation from our neighbour who was renovating at the same time, and from our first meeting we really felt we were in safe hands. Brian managed our expectations very well from the outset, and we relied heavily on his guidance to navigate the complex rules when renovating within Sydney city council area, both as part of a strata complex and within a heritage area. Brian challenged our thinking when it came to the design, and I’m so glad he did!! The window he added in the en-suite, which I was very unsure about, is now my favourite feature!! Brian even went as far as designing our custom joinery for our walk-in wardrobes, as he knew the joiner wasn’t delivering on my vision. Brian went completely over and above when it came to finally getting our build approved by the project certifiers, as our builder failed on several attempts to complete the required paperwork. Brian stepped in and got it all sorted within a matter of days, when it had already taken our builder months to submit. I couldn’t recommend Brian highly enough. As well as being extremely professional he is just a lovely guy, he truly cares about his work and his clients, and it shines through in all that he does. His commitment to getting the job done means he consistently delivered well beyond what we would normally expect from any architectural service. We will absolutely be using him again the next time we build.”
