The brief from our clients was to design and build a renovation and extension that would cater for a growing family, as the spaces needed to adapt as their children become adults. Our clients required a dedicated study space as well as play areas, retreats for parents, carparks, open plan entertaining spaces and separate accommodation for an Au Pair.

The challenge in designing this home was to accommodate all our client’s needs in an inner-city property. Being a narrow block and approximately 400sqm, the design not only included the basement but also a second story, and it all needed to fit in comfortably with a pleasing aesthetic across all areas of the home.

Transitioning each space seamlessly into the next was key. The inground pool meets up to the house, and the internal fireplace bench continues out to the BBQ and outdoor kitchen area. By maximising the potential of the entire site with every inch being used, we were able to accommodate the clients wants and needs while creating something beautifully unique.

This stunning 3 level extension was built to cater to a growing family, while being sympathetic to the heritage of the existing home.  Complete with parents retreat and library/study on the top level, a striking alfresco area poolside and an amazing multi-purpose basement with pool window, this extension is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary and is a world away from the inner-city style synonymous with Richmond living.
