Hope Residence

Additions and Alterations | 50m² | expected completion end 2020

Hope Residence is situated on a sloped landscape within White Gum Valley, Australia. The area is located within the City of Fremantle with a strong vernacular to heritage, materials and the sea. The clients wished to create an extension to the garage which is currently accessible from the laneway and seperated from the main house with a large landscaped garden.

The extension involving a second level accommodates the clients parents who come to visit from overseas frequently. Acknowledgement of future proofing, we designed an exterior aesthetics likening to the local context by maintaining the red recycled bricks and complimented with a recycled corrugated metal sheet. On the interior, we proposed a powder room downstairs and a bathroom upstairs for less mobility required, and a fully self contained kitchen, dining. A double height space above the dining allows better natural ventilation and natural sunlight. Facing a strong North light, the exterior facade can adapt to help control climate within the space.
