The project involved alterations and additions to a 1930’s heritage listed block in the Reid Housing Precinct. The house, sited on a diamond shaped block was part of the early ‘Garden City’ model and was designed by the Department of the Interior as a Type Q house. Subsequently, in the early 90’s, the house was extended with a sympathetic rear addition.
Our brief was as follows:
To preserve and enhance the heritage values of the house whilst up-grading the building to meet modern functional and environmental standards.
-To increase sleeping, recreation and utility spaces for a large young family.
-To transform the interior with a contemporary aesthetic, drawing in more natural light, opening up spaces and linking it with the garden.
-To create a beautiful garden landscape with outdoor dining, an in-ground pool and a separate studio.
-The design had to resolve many area constraints set by heritage controls, service easements, tree protection set-backs and the shape of the corner block.
Building a large basement space to accommodate utility and recreational functions helped to resolve many of these issues.
As well as adding new rooms, existing walls were demolished and re-aligned to improve circulation and create a more rational plan. A number of shaped skylight voids were introduced to bring abundant light throughout and create interesting volumes of space. A modern studio was co-located at the back to complement the design of the in-ground pool.
A counterpoint to the minimalist interior palette of off-white walls and Grey-Box timber floorboards are the occasional splashes of vibrant geometric floor and wall tiles.
