A united home that embraces classic 1950’s Canberra styling, building on the beauty yet having been cleverly transformed by the dynamic team; Architect Pedro Geleris from Arquitectura, and Ross Haddin RHG Constructions.
The extension brief in 2010, was to ensure the house better integrated with the garden. What success. Geleris’s conceptualised a sun trap, doubling the living space and creating a series of pavilions which open through double glazed sliders onto private alfresco zones. The raked skillion roof, with remotely controlled highlight windows give glimpses of established Japanese maples and clumping bamboo, allowing an abundance of natural light and gentle Autumn sun to stream in.
Consideration of the symmetry of the house on the block, has lead to balance, maximising the 822m2 of land. Lush against the red brick facade, sculptural magnolias, gracious maples, and perfectly manicured buffalo lawns, with splashes of redbrick edging and cleverly integrated decks. Choose your entertaining area, in shade or sun.
