Knocklofty extension transforms a 1980s red brick veneer home into a modern, warehouse inspired family home.
The house sits on a steep site overlooking West Hobart and the River Derwent beyond.
To meet the clients brief the existing roof was removed, the building was simplified and a new level was added.
The clients commissioned local artist ‘Jamin’ to paint a contemporary street style artwork in the void which becomes a part of the building rather than an art piece on the wall.
