Following the successful design of two childcare centres, the client approached us for their third re-development of a Dweling House. We embarked to maximise the building area while delivering a distinctive design within the Complying Development Certificate constraints. The project began with an internal design competition to ensure every unique idea was considered to achieve a successful outcome.
Design response
The design process considered the future streetscape, setting a benchmark for the neighbourhood's architectural style. We introduced a contemporary yet simple design, with opportunities for creative interior design, particularly in the open living, dining and kitchen spaces.
Design overview
We approached spatial design with the goal to create a feeling of expansiveness with a luxurious touch:
- The house features four bedrooms, including two master bedrooms with ensuites—one on each floor.
- The living space is double-height, with a first-floor rumpus space overlooking the ground floor living area.
- Both living areas enjoy expansive window glazing with views of the rear private open space.
- External finishes include contemporary light-coloured brick on the ground floor and darker metal cladding on the first floor.
Arched vistas frame not just views but childhood wonder, infusing each play space with the elegance of discovery.
