Residential Alterations / Additions (small) With the limited budget of $200,000 it was not possible to excavate under the house in order to create the double garage . Proposing garages or any other enclosed structures in front of the building line is also not in line with the local planning controls. As a solution & to minimise the bulkiness of the development a double carport was proposed . There was an opportunity to create a gable roof over the new carport. However the roof line couldn’t join the house without limiting the natural light to the master bedroom . Instead the verandah was used as the carport extension and it became a private patio facing Northern aspect. To upgrade & highlight the main entry access – the front verandah was extended and wide stairs were proposed. The street appeal was finalised by introducing a gable roof over the front verandah. There were many different details that could finish off the gable ends. Vertical panels were proposed to visually minimise the width of the large gables and add a contrast to the horizontal cladding. Sandstone cladded masonry walls , hardwood screens , “hampton style” balustrade and green garden were the binding details to tranform the average looking cottage into appealing & modern beach house.
