Extensions
A 150 m² extension has been added to an historic villa in North Adelaide, creating a contemporary living environment that complements the original home. The new addition forms the main living area, oriented north for optimal light and thermal performance, and is paired with an adjacent rooftop garden that expands the usable outdoor space. The project also includes a new master bedroom and bathroom. Beneath the extension, an undercroft provides secure parking for three cars, with a lift offering direct access to the modern upper level.

Sustainability is paramount, with a 7.5-star energy rating achieved through passive design. North-facing glazing optimizes daylight and warmth, while thermal mass—reclaimed insulated brick wall and a waffle-pod concrete floor—stabilizes temperatures. Cross-ventilation, high-level windows, and sliding doors harness sea breezes, reducing mechanical cooling needs. Shading devices and a veranda regulate solar exposure.
