Approved via a complying development certificate allowed this project to progress quickly and by-pass the council approvals process. The extension to an existing home in Turramurra saw the addition of a new sunroom and outdoor room to the rear and south of the home. Due to the orientation the roofs were lifted to allow for sunlight to penetrate onto the deck area in winter to allow year-round outdoor living.
The new sunroom uses a similar but more modern palette of materials to that of the existing house to tie it while maintaining its own identity. The flexibility of this room, with bi-fold doors across the width of the room and hidden fly screens allow the sunroom to open up and be part of the outdoor deck or closed off and used as an extension of the indoor living spaces.
