Gable End
By Castlepeake Architects
Located in a Heritage Conservation Area, alterations to the external fabric of the building have been largely confined to the rear so as not to interrupt the existing buildings contribution to the streetscape and comply with Council’s policies. Internally, a major reconfiguration has been planned around a new central stairwell and void with a large skylight over, drawing light into the heart of the building. To the rear, new living spaces are contained below a simple flat steel roof, located symmetrically below the large brick gable end, one of the redeeming features of the existing house. Bays protruding from either side of the gable roof to the upper level match the modern aesthetic of the ground level additions. Window boxes pick up on the existing details of the front façade and provide an internal seating area to north facing rooms.

About the
Professional
Our aim is to design site specific houses that improve the lives of our clients. Well proportioned spaces and forms which closely relate to the attributes of a site are life changing for the people who use them everyday.
Our method is to rigorously and logically analyse each site and brief and to arrange each response in an efficient and artful way. Central to the analysis and response is a thorough understanding of the client and their requirements.
Castlepeake Architects is a small, design focused, Sydney based architectural practice with many years experience in all types of residential architecture including new, altered and heritage houses. Our small size allows director input into every project from initial design to completion on site. We are a close knit and passionate team with a focus on design excellence and client satisfaction.
