This home is a fantastic example of what can be done to fuse the classic with the contemporary in a manner that both challenges thinking and complements the heritage detailing of this home. Urban Habitats coordinated all elements of the design and construction; specific highlights of the finish include the dramatic stairwell, impressive westerly façade, glazed cellar hatch and huge upper level master suite.

The rear of the property was demolished together with the original garage to make way for a discreet contemporary two-storey extension from the front road side providing a functional floor plan and adequate garaging. Building on the boundary at all 3 sides to the rear provided significant challenges but maximised use of the available floor space.
