The challenge
Part of an existing row of three existing townhouses, this dwelling needed an external refresh to give a new sense of identity and address privacy and amenity issues. Internal modifications were required to provide for the changing needs of the owners, including work from home arrangements.
The Solution
We addressed the exterior of the dwelling holistically - introducing larger windows where required to give greater light and ventilation, and introducing shading and privacy screening to provide further articulation and detail, and set the dwelling apart from its neighbours.
At rear, an existing under-utilised pool and garden area is refurbished and an existing garage roof planted to provide greater amenity and softened outlook.
Internally, we flipping an existing staircase, and opened voids in the floor above to provided a greater sense of arrival. Planning on all floors was reviewed - with an additional ensuite inserted at ground level, a new open plan kitchen/living/dining space at lower ground, and a new master suite to the upper floor.
