Renovation of a federation Bungalow in Drummoyne. We integrated the new living spaces around the existing pool and huge frangipani tree in the backyard.
A lightweight addition was added on the first floor to lean over into the tree and the backyard while creating shelter below.
Recycled brick walls were used to screen neighbours and to contain the outdoor living areas.
A new pool pavilion was added to the rear of the pool just above the existing pool level to extend the living spaces further into the garden.

Contemporary Deck, Sydney — A space was designed between new deck and new fence to existing pool to reduce the height and impact of the fence from the living areas.
