The clients had already had some drawings done for a renovation of the existing residence, unfortunately the brief got a bit out of hand and the end result was more of a rebuild than a reno., the budget was blown sky high and the clean lines of the building were completely lost. The clients then asked if I would draw up a simpler addition that retained the shape of the existing residence, modernised the interior and gave them some more much needed space. The block is steeply sloping and part of the brief was to provide parking for approx. 3 vehicles, this was achieved by canterlevering a concrete slab on the lower level which minimised the disturbance to the hillside and avoided any chance of slippage. The build is due for completion around the end of 2011.
