Annandale, 103sqm
Hidden within the awkward plan of the existing house was the potential for a light-filled and functional living area for a young couple and their dog, Chowder. The existing house was already built to the limits of the site so without adding any additional area, a simple change to the floor plan was all that was required to completely transform this house.
The existing layout had two small bathrooms located at the rear of the house off of a room that was too small for any meaningful use. Additionally, there was a steep and oddly located staircase to a mezzanine that lowered the ceiling height of the living room below to a minimum.
Switching the location of these two areas has opened up the whole rear of the house and resulted in an expansive living room that is drenched with natural light. The bathroom is now centrally located and an ensuite and walk-in-pantry have also been created. The new staircase to the existing mezzanine neatly wraps around the bathroom with space for another special house underneath, a cubby for Chowder.
