Started stage 1 for this house in 2011. Big alts and adds like these are complex and require perseverance and deep pockets. It's been a grind for neighbours, builders and client but we are finally getting close to completing this spectacular build. Look for the finished version in a month or so from now. spectacular north facing decks vaulted roofs eyebrow highlights add interest to the interior flush glass feature window provide a view to the cellar. touch of classical cornices as a juxtaposition to the modernist interior living room. yet to be revealed chandeliers master ensuite waiting for marble columns refurbished pool in the process of being filled smaller shower room/ensuite roof/pool deck covered area.

Here's a fun pic for my good friend, muso, teacher and luthier, Craig Corcoran.

A small renovation in Leichhardt. An existing older extension to the southern end of a cute Federation freestanding house. Typically very dark and dismal added to by an austere tiled floor. The new renovation flipped a section of the existing roof up to let a slice of northern light and sun penetrate the space. A new kitchen on the dark wall closest to the boundary with no windows. A fire rated glass splashback now provides retina burning light to the main bench top and into the interior. Some extra film is being added to cut the late afternoon glare. Lovely timber floors now run from old to new sections providing a link and a soft visual flow and feel underfoot. The modern rear renovation is now a lovely counterpoint to the heritage front end. Harmony in juxtaposition. Overall a very successful little project thanks to a client dedicated to getting it right and cleverly executed by an experienced builder who understands architects custom designs, DB & HE Building Services.
