Maggie’s House | Light House Architecture and Science

Maggie’s House is the stunning transformation of an original red brick, Plan 404, ex–government home with a 1990s split level extension. The result of a carefully integrated architecture and science process By Light House is a energy and space efficient family home that is now climate resilient and takes full advantage of a leafy northerly outlook over the surrounding neighbourhood and parkland while also connecting beautifully to private garden areas to the rear.

Key principles behind this project:
•Flexibility and adaptability – the home needed to be suitable for a growing family and to host regular visiting family and friends
•Connection with the existing well–established gardens and the neighbourhood
•Climate resilience and solar passive design
Renovation rather than knockdown rebuild
•Simplicity and a sympathetic streetscape reflective of the original neighbouring homes

The upper storey addition seamlessly integrated into the existing structure, offering additional bedroom, office, panoramic views and a striking facade. Architectural features blended traditional and modern elements, emphasising open spaces and the connection to outdoor areas.
