About the winning project
The clients wanted to create a high-end architectural extension to their existing inner city cottage home. The extension comprised three storeys on a site with tight access, high traffic flow and overhead powerlines located at the front. The clients wanted the extension to be free flowing, modern, sophisticated, and bold. However, the connection of the old original cottage to the modern extension was to be integrated and not to feel out of place. The concept of the design was bold and showcased a huge amount of glass, low pitched roofs with parapets, multiple cladding types, with multiple levels, Heka hoods to provide shade on the northern side and huge exposed steel columns to ground the home, bringing gravity to the vast space.
