We purchased a knock down rebuild which already had DA approved plans designed by All Australian Architecture. We would have purchased the property anyway as it was the location we wanted. However, as soon as we saw the high level plans we fell in love with the design and decided to build it subject to a few minor changes to make it work more for us as a family home with young kids.
The most impressive aspect of the design was how it managed to make use of the entire plot. The plot of land was unusual to say the least being split down the middle by a 20 foot cliff and with the existing dwelling the back garden was inaccessible from the front of the property and landlocked at the rear. Adam's team designed a roof top terrace which meant that the rear garden could be accessed from the house. Initially we thought this space would not get much use but has become one of the 'wow' factors when people visit - and we use it all year round.
Working with Adam's team was great. He listened to our needs and was able to tweak the existing design to better suit our needs - which changed as the build was underway and never was a problem. We would certainly recommend All Australian Architecture to friends and might even use them again ourselves in the near future!
