July 2011 Warrandyte stage 0.5 site works complete.

Warrandyte Project. While producing a master plan, responding to the owners' brief to extend and renovate an existing home on a large, sloping, site, it was identified early that while the existing house was quite well planned, its visual and physical outlook to the poolside and external areas could be greatly improved. Our strategy was to work with the bones and character of the existing home, while proposing a series of interventions in a play of 'give and take' with the house and surrounds. This is a house for family.

A builder was contracted to undertake initial 'stage 0.5' works in 2011, installing oak flooring within the family room and hall areas with selected adjacent works to impove the amenity and circulation of the house, while 'stage 1 works' were being detailed and documented by us.

Stage 1 works are to comprise an extension to the existing family room, a new copper clad bathroom and laundry, along with external poolside works comprising stepped decking and seating, pergola, drainage works, retaining wall and stone paving.
