Mezzanine House
By alsoCAN Architects
By stepping down at the rear we were able to design a double-height living space, and mezzanine study over the kitchen, that is not visible from the heritage streetscape.
The back of the house is treated like a facade to the new garden, with large timber bi-fold doors. The carport doubles as an undercover living area.
One bedroom was converted into 2 bathrooms, with the ensuite bathroom connecting through to a light-filled walk-in robe down the side of the house, with a hidden sliding door separating it from the butler's pantry under the study stair.
A courtyard between the existing house and the new living room allows north light to filter through.
We reinstated Victorian features, windows, verandah, and cast-iron lacework. to the front of the house.

A courtyard between the existing house and the new living room allows natural north light to filter through. To top it off, we've reinstated Victorian features like windows, verandah, and cast-iron lacework to the front of the house, adding a touch of elegance.
Inside, we've transformed one bedroom into 2 bathrooms, with the ensuite bathroom connecting to a light-filled walk-in robe. A hidden sliding door separates it from the butler's pantry under the study stair.

alsoCAN
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.
