Architects Statement The site is a medium sized block, with an existing single storey brick art deco house set back from the street.  Image Courtesy © Peter Bennetts

Views to and through the spaces were important considerations, so that the children could be monitored from a range of spaces both inside and out.

As the clients are active club members, views to the club from the interior and the west terrace offered unique design opportunities and allowed the site to visually extend to this area, as though the tennis courts were their own.  Image Courtesy © Peter Bennetts Living spaces are punctuated with a north facing courtyard, creating a private outdoor space that is shielded from the views from tennis club, as well all allowing the north sun to penetrate the various living spaces and kitchen. Living areas have been consciously designed to remain flexible as either playrooms, studies, additional living areas or retreats. So as the dynamics of the family change over time, the spaces can adapt accordingly.  Image Courtesy © Peter Bennetts The relationship with the deco frontage was also considered. The linear detailing on the street façade chimney is a cue for the decorative timber patterning on the new extension. The use of timber also references its Bayside location, offering a dialogue between the suburban frontage and a more coastal design approach to the rear, referencing its dual context.
