A modern two-storey extension is thoughtfully tucked behind a sensitively renovated, historic Victorian home. With its heritage Hawthorn brick facade and the original front rooms restored and celebrated, the new two storey addition is elegant & understated as it quietly extends back into the site.

Responding to a sloped site, the extension terraces down the back of the property incrementally with a series of open-plan levels, culminating in a generous living space overlooking the garden, slightly cranked to give way to a pool and alfresco area tucked into the wedge-shaped space along the side of the dwelling.

With generous expanses of glass, exaggerated metal-clad eaves, a monolithic brick chimney tower & a visually stunning pool directly abuting floor to ceiling windows, the result is an extension that spills out from behind the original historic dwelling like a beautiful gem siting effortlessly on a platform in the garden.
