Alterations and additions to an existing residence

The house is located adjacent to Ferndale Park Reserve, Chatswood West. A small but significant renovation to the existing residence transforms the main living space when a solid wall was replaced with large, fixed glass panels. The trees and birds from the nearby reserve are now ‘living artwork’. The nature, the changing seasons and the wildlife can be viewed 24/7. A new deck accomplished the indoor-outdoor experience.

Project Portfolio

Design Your Space studio, founded in 2008, has a multi-disciplinary holistic approach and a strong connection to the land we love to live on. We specialise in designing and delivering architectural projects that are driven by our commitment to understanding our clients and their requirements.

With over 20 years of diverse local and international experience, Design Your Space studio produces buildings and interiors of smart space solutions and elegant simplicity. For us, architecture is not just the form and mass; it is the void echoing around and within it, and the relationship with the outdoor, terrain, and orientation.

In essence, buildings, which are made by humans for humans, evolved to protect us from predators, rivals, and the elements. Igloos, mud houses, or huts are only a few examples of buildings that evolved to suit specific climatic conditions. With industrialisation, our civilisation developed a reliance on technology and machinery, and the building industry was driven away from understanding the land and the connection to its context and ecosystem. Unfortunately, exhausting resources, deforestation, cut and fill excavations, heating, and cooling buildings, became the norm.

As it stands, our impact on the Earth is vast and the climate is changing. We can no longer ignore this reality; some things must change. We need to rethink the way we construct, step away from fossil fuel, and reduce the heating and cooling demand of our buildings. The quality of construction, its airtightness, weather tightness and insulation are first and foremost as they lead to a healthy interior and lower heating and cooling demands.

Design Your Space acknowledge a new phase in building evolution is here and offers a full design and planning service which follow design standards that can withstand the range of temperatures, rainfall, and winds as they areexpected to change. The quality of construction, its airtightness, weather tightness, and insulation are first and foremost as they lead to a healthy interior and lower heating and cooling demands.
