Article source: SG2 design A quaint, two-tone single-fronted brick cottage in North Carlton has been restored to it’s former glory, and enhanced by new additions at the rear.  Image Courtesy © SG2 design

Existing site conditions were restrictive but north facing, thus enabling the proposed additions to maximise northern light to all new living and service areas.

The proposed roof uses polycarbonate sheets to allow sunlight through; its form is a nod to service station design from the 1950’s.

Existing grapevines survived the entire construction process and will create a future natural shading device against harsh westerly sun.
