Reaching even higher.

8 years ago I had drawn up plans for this 2 storey home in Applecross, the original design having been sketched out by another designer. Both prior to and during construction the owner had considered a 3rd storey to capture the elevated views down the road to the river and so I had already prepared sketch plans but they remained an idea.  Almost a decade later and we are back to consider again the opportunity for greater views to be had by going up another floor.  

The design continues the existing unique composite style and adding an additional feature parapet facing the side street to break up the repetition of windows.  Taking the master suite to the top floor with a sumptuous ensuite as well as a large open lounge area and a small study, the design fills up all the available space on this small 200m2 lot when allowing for setbacks.
