The integration of the pool and the floor plan was the clients' main concern. In order to achieve the best possible outcome, I orientated the pool in a north/east direction. This protected the outdoor space from the harsh south westerly winds and allowed the fresh north easterly during summer. The large glazed sections within the main living spaces faced north/east to gain the views over  the pool and gardens but just as importantly to capture the winter sun. The other big benefit was during summer, the home would cast a shadow over the pool area without the need of using sails or a shading system.  Control of the high volume spaces and sleeping spaces was also a high priority. High volume spaces were placed quite distant to the sleeping quarters.

“Having had no experience in the building game, Luke made us feel confident to move forward with our project from our first meeting. We engaged Luke to design a contemporary addition to our heritage listed house and the outcome is an outstanding, light-filled modern extension that functions incredibly well for our family! He managed to add significant new floor space without compromising the front external appearance to meet the heritage requirements. Luke was able to listen and understand our needs, he was clear, always punctual, very professional and easy to communicate with. We love living in our new home and our guests love to be entertained here! thank you Luke Sia - Strathfield House”
