Character home meets modernity
Modern Extension Project, Doubleview, F Residence.
Open plan living spaces added to a character home in Doubleview. An entirely new main living area wing and opened-up entertainment area are among the key modifications to this home. An angular skillion roof meets with the traditional tiled roof of the existing home creating an attractive contrast between the new and old.
The original home was in need of repairs and required a vibrant uplift where a new extension could take advantage of a spacious backyard. The original spaces of the home where given a complete re-modelling to improve the flow of the home and unify the interiors between the old and new, adding greater levels of comfort and flexibility to the lifestyle this home now offers.
Reducing the operating expenses of heating and cooling through passive solar design was another priority of this major renovation. With the extension facing north, the extensions boasts light filled spaces with plenty of ventilation and high insulation properties. The Angular roof is designed to accommodate a series of PV panels to work in conjunction with a home storage battery, aiming to eliminate energy costs entirely.
