Residential Re-Do: Semi-detached
Randwick NSW, 2010
Expansion of an existing semi-detached dwelling in Randwick NSW, new two storey addition to rear of property. Careful positioning of elements to preserve privacy and sunlight access between properties. A remodelled living, dining and kitchen area which provide enough space while avoiding excessive consumption of available site area. Passive design elements respond to the western orientation through the careful placement of glass and solid elements. Energy efficiency is attained by the provision of natural light throughout the addition and into the existing building. All lighting and new fixtures are both energy and water efficient. Water is stored on site and used for irrigation. Rainwater is also piped to a small pond adjacent to full height sashless double hung windows to draw cool air inside on hot summer days. Future landscaping is expected to enhance this microclimate effect. The new living space recalls the proportions and height of the existing dwelling while providing a fully contemporary spatial experience. Space heating is incorporated into the ‘tower’ element and is high efficiency gas powered. A visual fireplace effect is created giving a psychological warmth to the space which the clients have commented favourably on. [Note, as project nears completion, more images will be added]
