The client brief required expertise in Passive Solar Design, Mixed Mode Renewable Technology and Sustainable materials. Triple glazing above the standard for temperate climate, envelopes the north facing gallery Lounge, Living and Kitchen extension. Timber features throughout the design, as external cladding and includes support for the Roof Garden. The courtyard garden is framed within high floor to ceiling glazed interior, allowing the client to experience the shift in seasons, day and night.

The Renovation Design of the existing house, the extension and roof garden provides ample zoning for solar power panels enabling free energy to service the property. Water storage solutions located under ground, free up the exterior spaces for gardens to flourish. The extension footprint area is redeemed with a roof top garden above the garage. An inspiring urban model is also created, enabling the owner to build at the rear service lane, and therefore avoid solar panel appearing on the Colonial Style roof of the existing house within the historic early 20th century streetscape.

EXISTING COLONIAL FACADE.

Whilst the project is not in a heritage overlay, a respectful street front facade enhancing the existing Colonial Style provides continuity of historic streetscape character within the locality.
