A new beginning …

Our client, Robert, purchased a completely overgrown site perched above the street with an old cottage and detached garage. We were engaged to design a new family home that he planned to owner build, and likely sell.

Part of the brief was to incorporate a separate suite that could be used as a granny flat or overflow accomodation. We sat the house up the hill to take advantage of district views and created a meandering driveway access that allowed for a large garage, internal access and the ability to drive both in and out forwards.

We were able to create a clean contemporary look, which includes a feature pool and rooftop lawn, plus excellent flow from front to back. A great family or entertainers home.

The house sold mid. 2020 for the highest price in East Killara (for a new build).

Accounting for a sloping block he created a beautiful architecturally stunning house with street appeal !
