"Contemporary Charm between the Old and New"

Our aim was to respect the heritage qualities of the streetscape and the existing landscape and yet, provide a contemporary extension that maximises daylight access and is configured for modern day living. 

In considering the orientation of the site, as well as solar access through a 3D analysis, the team at StudioJLA decided on a single-level extension to balance lighting and shadowing.

The open-plan living extension seamlessly integrates itself with the outdoors, with a carefully positioned courtyard to receive the northerly aspect to allow for optimal daylight access.

We like to think that this extension demonstrates how contemporary design can compliment this heritage home while respecting its character and proportion to lead to a good design outcome suitable for everyday living.

About the
Professional

Justin Loe Architects is an architecture firm operating since 2000, we specialise in creating beautiful spaces that inspire living.

“We spend a large majority of our time in the built environment, whether at home or at work. The connections between people, friends and colleagues happen within these spaces and influence our well being on a daily basis. We aim to create a built environment that encourages living yet be connected to its place. We believe architecture should be functional yet be a source of inspiration and beauty.”

“We listen and work closely with our clients in bringing together their vision and bring our years of design knowledge and experience to evolve each project to create unique solutions. We believe good design requires careful planning and detailing to create comfortable yet distinct spaces.”

“We treat each project as a process of discovery with the aim for our clients to enjoy the design and building process as their project comes to fruition”
