A renovation and upper storey addition has transformed an original bungalow into a light-filled family home. Sliding louvre shutters give optimum sunlight and privacy control. Skylights flood the central staircase and circulation zone with natural light. The new living room steps down from the kitchen/ dining area and opens to a timber deck that connects to the garden and plunge pool.

Off-form concrete walls and polished floor, masonry “reverse brick” walls and roof gardens provide excellent thermal mass. A double height void to the living space and louvre windows throughout give ample cross-ventilation and opportunity for passive heating and cooling. The home is planned with living spaces on the ground floor adjoining outdoor areas for play and entertainment. Adjustable louvre blinds around the double height outdoor living area give protection form the afternoon sun. Bedrooms and a further living space are on the upper level, looking out over roof gardens to the front and rear of the property.
