 with the beauty of design is a good example for modern house
requirements
To facilitate ease of construction whilst maintaining integrity of the original
building, the existing house was kept completely intact and largely
untouched. A glass side strip and roof lights were inserted between the old
and the new, not only clearly defining the two but also bringing light into
the core of the house. Being on a very spatially restricted site, the structure
had to be designed to be very efficient. The steel structure in fact swayed
until the steel stairs were added, proving the simplicity of the design, which
once completed is very strong and sturdy.
The design of the outdoors was done by a landscape designer the client had
worked with before. As a result of good communication between all parties
and great sensitivity to the architectural design, the landscape design marries
to the overall concept beautifully.
The clients now have a generous three bedroom house with large Kitchen/
Dining area with direct connection to the outdoor space. While previously it
would have been impossible to accommodate their needs with two children
in the old house, they are now living comfortably in a very desirable area.
The resulting residence allows the clients to live comfortably in their area of
choice which they love. Prior to this they were considering relocating due to
their spatial needs. This is no longer necessary.
In addition, the designed type, a first in the area, sets an example of how
today’s living needs can be accommodated in tight inner city locations.
