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.
