Shop Conversion in Willagee

Sometimes you get an interesting project with a twist.                                                             

The client had bought an abandoned corner shop with high parapet.  He wanted to add a 2nd floor and we needed to add privacy and security. Windows were cut into the high parapet and a cladded framed addition for the 2nd storey with a gable and curved awning over the original shop entry which was blocked off as it did not provide the privacy required. Instead the old entry was converted into a niche style feature.   A gated entry was added to the side for the new entry.  A balcony from the top floor gave a private outlook across the park opposite. Planters were constructed under the existing ground floor windows and wrought iron grilles added a sense of distance from the pedestrian path around the building.
