Two Into One

This project converts a large two level Duplex into a single family residence. The original double brick duplex was built in the late 1940’s and had further additions to it in the 1970’s.

The owners engaged us to convert the duplex into a single residence for their young family, with a focus on modernising the home with a fresh new material palette, adding plenty of natural light and creating a new indoor /outdoor link with a strong connection to the landscaping and backyard.

Both levels were extensively re-planned and developed to meet the owners brief. The bulky 1970’s additions to the front and rear were removed, and a large double height central gallery and dramatic staircase was formed to capture natural light from above.
