CplusC Architectural Workshop wins TIDA Australia Architect Renovation of the Year

The concept for this home was heavily inspired by the strong family bond of its owners, together with establishing a connection between its occupants and the landscape. 

The existing Federation-period house accommodates two bedrooms, a master bedroom with ensuite, a guest room and a bathroom – all of which have been rejuvenated to the standard of the new extension.

The extension has become the missing link between the original house and the garden, and transforms previously dark and gloomy living spaces into an open plan social space

Close collaboration with the landscape designer has created a garden with native plantings and climbing plants that will eventually wrap up and over the master bedroom façade, softening the threshold between built form and vegetation.

Existing materials were consciously reused, maximising the material’s lifespan, and reducing site waste.

Plus the design supports the family’s sustainable lifestyle through the installation of a 3kW photovoltaic system and an 8000L rainwater tank to reduce the environmental impact of day-to-day life.
