This alterations and additions project to an existing 1980s canal-front bungalow is located at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. The Clients required flexible accommodation for kids of differing ages, along with two separate home offices.
Approximately 70% of the existing house has been retained and refurbished, with the two level extension being adda at the canal end of the site.
The primary design move for the existing house was the creation of a new central courtyard which forms both an integral part of the updated entrance sequence to the house, and also offers increased light, ventilation and outlook to the study and bedroom spaces that surround it.
A new master bedroom suite is located at first floor level and offers views to the canal across a covered North-facing terrace, and back towards the Surfers Paradise skyline.
