Spoonbill Grove, Kingsley
Renovation and extension to existing single storey residence
Construction tender
Minimal impact on the existing structure but presenting a dramatic change and modification to the front elevation.
One of the big challenges was addressing the low height of the existing roof eaves that will only just fit a standard door height under them. Consequently, when proposing to increase the floor height of the new patio at the rear of the home to match the internal levels, a smart solution was needed in the detailing to produce generous ceiling heights.
The low eaves height continues at the front of the property and by introducing a feature frame to the entrance design we are able to provide the opportunity to incorporate an oversized entry door and create a grand entrance.
