Our current project in Bronte is a listed heritage item. As such the original frontage was to be retained. Behind this facade are three stories of modern addition. In order to achieve this our team had to meet the challenge of excavating a large basement in sandy soil, whilst propping and retaining the heritage walls above.
Looking through the original frontage.
The connection from front to the new rear addition. Heritage meets contemporary design. Copper roofing nods to the terracotta tiling, while mortar extends to its new solid form in the concrete extension. Built to last.
The shell for the kitchen. A large frameless glass window will frame new lush landscaping.
Off form concrete creates a curved roof that doubles as a roof garden. We have used a washed cedar by Modinex to clad the ground floor ceiling that extends the indoor outdoor living area. Planting to cascade over the concrete and semi-circle column.
Stepping back to see the bigger picture. The ground floor is boarded – new Vitrocsa doors to be installed soon. Progress!
Big thanks to our team -
