Russell Lea studio

Stage: Complete 2010
Builder: Maximum Design and Construction
Floor Area: 60 m2

The project was recently featured in The Sun Herald, the Architectural Review Australia magazine, The Daily Telegraph and the  Australian Design Review and  Small House Style websites.

 

This project involved the demolition of an existing garage and studio at the rear of a house, fronting a secondary street.  In doing this, a portion of the garden was reclaimed to increase the amount of landscaping.  The new structure, which negotiates a step in the ground level to the rear street, comprises a new garage and secondary dwelling including combined living, dining kitchen downstairs and  bedroom loft space.

The application was approved under the new secondary dwelling legislation which encourages a diverse range of housing types.
