Maggie’s House | Light House Architecture and Science
Maggies House is the stunning transformation of an original red brick, Plan 404, exgovernment home with a 1990s split level extension. The result of a carefully integrated architecture and science process By Light House is a energy and space efficient family home that is now climate resilient and takes full advantage of a leafy northerly outlook over the surrounding neighbourhood and parkland while also connecting beautifully to private garden areas to the rear.
Key principles behind this project:
Flexibility and adaptability the home needed to be suitable for a growing family and to host regular visiting family and friends
Connection with the existing wellestablished gardens and the neighbourhood
Climate resilience and solar passive design
Renovation rather than knockdown rebuild
Simplicity and a sympathetic streetscape reflective of the original neighbouring homes
Canopy House | Neighbourhood Architecture
This architectural project in Watson aimed to rejuvenate an aging residence, transforming it into a modern, energyefficient home with an added upper storey. Combining historical charm with contemporary functionality, the project focused on sustainability through solar passive design, insulation, and smart home technology. The upper storey addition seamlessly integrated into the existing structure, offering additional bedroom, office, panoramic views and a striking facade. Architectural features blended traditional and modern elements, emphasising open spaces and the connection to outdoor areas.
