By RAA Architects
This is an extension and renovation to a 1950’s house in Castlecrag, Sydney. The aim was to integrate the additions into the existing structure as much as possible in order to create a house that sits comfortably in the neighbourhood. It had to be a modest, restrained addition as it sat between important houses designed by Walter Burley Griffin.
It is a simple kitchen/dining/living space with a planted green roof. There are oversized doors that open up to the north and a small pool that sits to the west.

RAAarchitects is a design oriented architectural practice focused on delivering high quality residential & commercial projects . Our aim is to produce architecture that has both a good functional layout and simple elegant form. This design approach is fundamental to every decision along the construction process.
Our projects are designed and documented using ArchiCAD in 3D. This enables clients to fly through the 3D model with us and receive regular 3D updates of the project to view on their computer or mobile devices. With this system we are able to thoroughly coordinate consultant input as they update and ensure no drawing conflict.
Our primary focus in design is created by a strong desire to benefit more people through architecture and it is this goal which drives us to produce solutions most sensible to every project. Combined with successive processes of renew, rethink, reinvent, RAAA delivers a unique and value-added outcome to every project.
