This was an interesting project that challenged us to come up with a creative solution. Our client’s house was requested to be lifted and minimally moved, due to encroaching onto the neighbours site. Our client wanted dual occupancy, while still maintaining the house as a Class 1 building (a single house over 2 floors, with 2 kitchens).
Using our creativity, skillset and design experience, we were able to transform the house into a beautiful, light, warm and welcoming home.

The client requested a two classroom prep facility for pre-school children with central service such as kitchen and art room spaces. Outside, we provided spaces that includes play equipment and sand pits under a sail roofed areas. The roofed sails were modelled and placed in such a way to provide maximum protection from the sun during play times.
The building is a very simple and functional form that became an asset for the school to accommodate pre-school kids. The design support spaces flowing from the inside of the two large classrooms to the outside play area, while sharing the functional central spaces.
Although the outside space is fenced and separated from the remainder of the school, it is visually well connected with the rest of the school. Courtesy of Elevation Architecture Studio
