The brief

A narrow lot on Wyadra Avenue held a three-bedroom home that had stopped keeping pace with the family inside it.

The response

The design retains the existing roof structure and pushes the ground floor from eighty to one hundred and twenty square metres, adding a library wrapped in floor-to-ceiling oak joinery, a reconfigured kitchen opening fully to the rear garden and pool, and an attic studio tucked under the gable with skylights on both slopes.
