The project is a new 3 level semi detached house on a steep site with uninterrupted views to the harbour bridge and city. It is wedged between a block of units to the north and a poorly arranged house to the south which shares the party wall. The living area at the top level, bedrooms at the mid and rumpus at the lower level all have views to the city framed through their eastern openings. Sunlight is maximised via large, protected skylights and decks at the eastern and western ends of the building. The western upper deck is contained within an aluminium clad box which cantilevers streetwards over an off form concrete wall which will be partially covered by deciduous climbers. The floor plate is tight and circulation between levels is achieved through two stairs running across the house (rather than along it) in order that the width of spaces is maximised.

“It seemed to be that every time we came across a house renovation we particularly admired, it had been designed by Castlepeake. When it was time for us to renovate, we had no hesitation in getting them involved. They understood our brief and developed innovative floor plans that increased light penetration whilst keeping within the building footprint. Castlepeake were also happy for us (first time renovators) to be a part of the design process and bring our personalities into the build. Our century old Californian bungalow received a well-deserved makeover with the perfect blend of modern and old. The team at Castlepeake assisted every step of the way from concept, detailed design phase to construction and completion.”
