Designed for a family of 4, the proposal retains the architecture and character of the existing house at the front and links it to a new, rear contemporary addition. The new north-west rear addition accommodates the main living spaces within an open plan and is surrounded by extensive landscaping and timber decked surrounds including a new swimming pool. The existing house at the front of the property was reconfigured as the ‘sleeping’ wing. Embracing seamless indoor-outdoor living, the north-facing living pavilion features a combination of fixed and sliding timber shutter screens and louvres to allow for flexibility and control of solar penetration and heat gain.
