Victorian Rear Addition & Makeover Home Project

Alterations & Additions to a Victorian Terrace | Queens Park

Within North Randwick Conservation Zone

This home is the Randwick conservation zone & is of mixed styles & dilapidated rooms at the rear. The owners brief was to demolish & rebuild the rear two storey breezeway extension. A contemporary design was chosen.

Modern house with large glass sliding doors, topped with a flat roof, surrounded by leafy green plants and trees.

Site Sloping To the Rear

Principal Design Features

Passive solar design principals were employed to exclude summer sun & allow winter sun to enter deep within the lower floor plate / Warmth of direct sun is stored within the thermal mass of the west side wall that conditions the inside air temperature in winter /  Wide span glass doors meet the demands of contemporary Australian lifestyle by providing greater inter-functional connection between inside & out.

Bright, open-concept kitchen and living room with large windows, wooden floors, a white kitchen island, black sofas with colorful cushions, and greenery outside.

Bifold doors allow opening to the side breezway & to the rear.

Under Construction

Construction workers building a deck or platform in the backyard of a house, with blue steel beams supported by brick piers, and a partially built house behind them.
