Working with a heritage house on a double block this project inserted new elements into the planning of the existing house and added a new wing to the rear to create a large house with an elegant mix of heritage and new. Light and space were the driving design principles in opening up the original ‘corridor + rooms’ plan to a more contemporary open plan arrangement suitable for a modern family home. The garden, pool and external spaces are integrated with the internal planning creating additional ‘rooms’ to allow year round living on the entire site.
