Summerleas Road | AKA Architects

Minimal moves were proposed by AKA architects to increase the amenity and appearance of the existing family home. While addressing the initial brief, critical analysis identified the existing house was under serviced. A modest extension, shielded from the driveway and focused towards the bush landscape, houses a drying room at the lower level. The upper level acts as a private retreat, while the open-air balcony looks over the natural swimming pool and attracts all-day sun. In the en-suite, the muted colour scheme, intricate timber detailing and expansive window provides the feel of bathing in the treetops. A new external colour scheme and the select use of timber battens unifies the house as one cohesive whole amongst the native bush setting.
