CLIENT: CHRIS & ALEX CHISNALL | STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING: W R ANDREW | COMPLETED: DEC 2015 | AWARDS: NZIA AND RESENE COLOUR 2016 HOUSING ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONS

This alteration is designed to provide an additional living area, master bedroom wing and general modernization to an existing 1960’s house. The new living room extension provides a sleek and modern extruded glass fronted box with a dropped “floating ceiling detail”, which is enclosed by a steel frame and allows for a fully opening bi-fold door side which seamless connects the extension to the new deck and timber lined soffit.

A cedar screen wraps the house on the street side which provides privacy and an emphasis to the entry of the house.

A master bedroom wing further extends the northern deck and house at ground level.
