I guess I'd be asking, how do you plan to live in this house? As it currently is, there seem to be three separate apartments, each with its own kitchen, on each of the three floors. Do you plan to keep it that way, or incorporate the whole house into a single living area, or something in between? How many bedrooms do you need/want? You have five at the moment, not counting the studio. Do you want to keep them all, or scupper a few of them in exchange for large spaces? It's hard to give advice without knowing a bit more about how you envisage living in this house. If you're a multigenerational family, or plan on renting out the bottom suite, you'd need different advice than if you were looking at incorporating the whole place into a single family home with, say, a hideout for the kids downstairs.

Hi arcmaz Great house - fantastic 60's modern look - Harry Sidler (Modernist Architect 1923-2006 exponent of the Bauhaus style in Australia, mainly Sydney) would have loved the interpretation, its a good style, don't change it will pay dividends in the long run. It would be good if there was a plan of the house,and a plan of the block this would allow some relatively accurate planning proposals. If you had the real-state plan with the block plan it would help a lot. In terms of making the place bigger and retaining the style I would suggest that the extension (maybe one room and an en suite depending on a budget) be a block in the today's current style, but linked to the existing house via a "link" (Link =small walkway). This would allow you to retain the style, but not be dominated by a past period, I have done this a few times and it has worked fairly well. If you are looking for three bedrooms it might be best to add a master bedroom with a bathroom, and then maybe living areas with back yard access. There may be other approaches depending on the current layout that could be considered, but I would retain as much as the original as possible, and only make small cosmetic changes until you are ready for a worthy development. I hope this is of some help, I would be happy to comment further or work on this project. Regards - Michael Manias Manias Associates Building designers - mm407p@gmail.com
