With living upstairs, and 3 bedrooms downstairs, this addition is infused with light.
Built to both boundaries, one side on a lane and the other side wall follows the angle of the town planning setback to make as much of the volume as possible. The roof curves down the wall reflecting the existing bullnose verandah and softening the feel of the interior.
Entering directly into the new 2-storey addition down the side of the house freed up the existing corridor for an ensuite bathroom to the front bedroom suite with a walk-in robe. The translucent acrylic door to the study alcove off the entry infuses it with soft light.

To broaden our design skills alsoCAN is a multi-disciplined studio. We keep learning so we can put more design into practice. So far, Architecture, can; Urban Design, can; Web Design, also can.
Our architectural practice draws on over 25 years of experience in individually designed houses & larger-scale residential, institutional & commercial projects in Melbourne, Singapore & Brisbane.
alsoCAN's architectural designs have been imagined, designed & drawn in 3 dimensions since the beginnings of BIM computer modelling in the 1990s. There is no disconnect between the spatial volumes of the design & the plans, elevations, and sections all in the one 3-D model. For many other architects, this is a new way of thinking.
