Located on the roundabout of a suburban arterial road in the heart of Sandy Bay, the extension steps up the slope of the corner site as it opens to the North enabling privacy for the occupants and distance from the noise of the road below.
Preston Lane was engaged to modernise the property to provide spaces for a growing family currently residing in Singapore. The extension included the revitalisation of the existing character home (back to its original form) and a substantial rear extension. An existing two-level extension was removed as part of the works to reveal the original dwelling and to enable a better relationship between the internal and external spaces within the new works.
A new entry has been created off Alexander Street, providing greater connection to the homes new Living spaces housed within the new works, whilst a subtle side entry from Regent Street has been maintained.
Preston Lane and Langford Projects have designed and built a home that thoughtfully blends the old with the new and which balances the needs of a growing family and a work from home environment.
Family members each have their own space with welcoming shared areas to eat, entertain and relax. Extensive and smart use of glass allows natural light to flow throughout providing a sanctuary in the cold Hobart winter months.
