The brief
A growing family in a single-storey North Balgowlah home that needed a master suite and dedicated study without sacrificing any garden. The only direction to grow was up.
The response
The second storey is set back from the street facade and pitched to match the existing roofline, ensuring the addition reads as a natural evolution rather than an afterthought. The staircase was positioned to leave the ground floor plan untouched, preserving the living spaces below while adding bedrooms and a study above.
