A simple rear addition conceived in the manner of a ‘warehouse’- a large single volume under a skillion roofs. This houses the large open living space for a growing young family. Extending along the southern boundary, opening up to the north and reducing in width towards the rear of the lot. The addition allows for maximum access to northern light and yard space. Requisite shading of the northern glazing is harnessed to architectural effect through the singular ribbon of zincalume capping, expressing an iconic form in the facade. The internal living areas become a large volume of bright space sharing the green area of the yard. The Bathroom and laundry areas become an in-between break from the existing building. This is reinforced internally via a dark corridor which opens into the expanse of the living space. Project Type: Addition Location: Mount Hawthorn Builder: Valdez Homes; Status: Completed (2019). “Nathan is an exceptionally skilled architect, who helped us shape our vision to create a modern extension to our 1930’s cottage in Mount Hawthorn. He worked closely with us, listening to our needs, and came up with an outstanding design that is unique, modern and practical for our growing family. We really appreciated his creativity, attention to detail and professionalism. We absolutely love the result and recommend him highly.” – Stephanie Gourlant

“Nathan Steele from Steelehouse Architects was our preferred architect for our recently completed major home extension in Mount Hawthorn, Perth. Steelehouse provided a full-service including design, documentation and quality review during construction. We cannot speak highly enough of Nathan and his team' sensitivity and ability to meeting our requirements whilst ensuring a sophisticated and exceptional design. The design process was thorough yet very enjoyable and personable - addressing cost and buildability at every turn. They also managed submission of the DA, costings and compliance. Steelehouse are highly accomplished architects offering great value for money - but more than that - our home has become a place of deep joy, beauty and satisfaction for the whole family. They have an eye for form, materiality and detail that we truly appreciate only now at completion. Everyone in our community have provided very positive responses to the dynamic and interesting design. The speed with which we completed the project is a testament to the well considered construction documentation and site communication with trades. Equally the project came in exactly on budget - a great relief to us as owners. We are overjoyed with the process and outcome for what was a large scale project considering the budget, We have no reservation in recommending Steelehouse Architects and would be happy to be contacted privately to discuss in more detail.”
