The Banff Ave House project exemplifies a sophisticated transformation of a dated bungalow into a contemporary family city retreat. Through a meticulously planned three-storey conversion, the original structure was reimagined to optimise spatial functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The design response was driven by the clients' desire for a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living, which was achieved by extending the previously underdeveloped lower basement to create a sun-drenched yard, fostering a private outdoor sanctuary.

The mid-level was reconfigured to feature expansive open-plan living areas, centred around a generous terrace that invites natural light and outdoor engagement. Inviting staircases connect this space to the rear yard, enhancing both accessibility and visual harmony.

The addition of a new top floor provided a spacious master suite and a dedicated study, elevating the residence’s livability and comfort.

Undertaken under a comprehensive Architect service agreement, including competitive invited tenders throughout the construction phase, the project ensured both cost certainty and a high-quality build outcome, embodying principles of modern residential extensions and luxury home design.
