This contemporary residential extension was designed by alsoCAN Architects to maximise city views, featuring a glass roof hatch and a stunning roof deck. Vertical blades strategically screen neighbouring properties while offering panoramic views of the surrounding urban landscape.
The design also includes a second roof deck accessible from a bedroom and a sunny courtyard nestled between the garage and living room.
The interior boasts a sophisticated black and white colour scheme, complemented by recycled brick exteriors.
To add a personal touch, a travel photograph of the homeowner was printed onto the glass kitchen splashback, creating a unique focal point in the space.

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.
