Two side extension pods to this single storey elongated bungalow resolve the short comings of a south facing rear elevation and two storey neighbouring development. The extrusion emulates the form of a chimney and mirrors the existing period roof pitch to bring high level light into the depths of the interior through a 10m long feature skylight. A skylight and an interior window creates a light-filled uplifting bathroom space. The interior is animated throughout the day by the interplay of shadows and reflections against the dining room wall. The space has a sense of calm, being connected to the outdoors both visually and physically.

We work differently.
We have a great collaborative team
We consult earlier with builders and other experts during design and development to produce thoughtful and considered work of exceptional quality.
We’re all about balance
We create uplifting spaces that surprise and delight, and balance functionality with aesthetics and budget.
Budgets are just as important to us as they are to you
Budgets are a constraint we welcome. Actually, we find constraints of any kind often steer us to find creative, cost-effective ways to meet your vision.
Sydney’s inner city is our forte
Sydney’s inner city is full of charms and challenges. We know ways to make the most from available space, capture natural light, respond to existing character and heritage, and discover the hidden potential that brings personality and joy to all our projects.
We embrace your vision
We help translate your vision into spaces tailored to the way you want to live, work, and play.
Our clients recommend us to others
Our clients are so happy with the work that they recommend us. 80% of our work has been with clients who contacted us after hearing about and seeing our work.
May 2021 Update:
After 8 years of building great foundations and a growing network of collaborators, Paul and Amanda are very excited to announce that Paul (ie. the to-date silent 'P' in PandA) has now officially joined Amanda to help manage projects in all aspects across design and delivery.
Coming full circle after meeting as architecture students in 1999 (Kent Institute of Art and Design, Canterbury, UK), and having since worked at opposite ends of the architectural spectrum, Amanda and Paul are excited now to share the wealth of their combined experience and knowledge with a broad range of current and future projects and clients.
