This lovely return verandah villa required some clever consideration to make the most of a small block.

 

The rear access assisted with maximising the back yard and the Garage was made to look like a garden pavilion rather than a shed. 

​

The existing villa now contains a Master Suite, Lounge, Kids Bedrooms and main bathroom and a hidden laundry in a cupboard off the hall.

 

The addition is defined with an aluminium pivot door that separates the old from the new. Off the old back wall, a new cellar stair was built and surrounded by glass balustrading.

 

The seamless glass slot window and ceiling to the cellar stair also defines the old from the new. 

​

Adjacent the cellar stair is an open plan kitchen, living and dining room with a hidden study nook.

 

The glass doors to the living and dining room slide open without a corner column to give a great sense of space and outdoor/indoor living.

 

The ceiling height to the addition is generous and also helps to create a scene of space and articulation.
