Maintaining the existing character to the street and public domain, the proposed works occur behind and beyond the existing street ridge line. Careful attention has been paid to the sitting and massing of the rear addition to appropriately provide a relationship to the established rear built form of its attached neighbors, by matching the rear building alignments on both levels. This responds to the desired quality of the two dwellings being visually read as a pair, not only at the street frontage, but also from the rear lane. It generally maintains the existing characteristics of the locality by reflecting the height, setbacks, scale and bulk of recently developed neighboring dwellings, ensuring the minimization of amenity impacts such as overlooking, overshadowing and view loss.

In retaining the front bedroom, the ground floor accommodates a new bathroom, kitchen, dining and living areas and a new internal steel framed stair. The first floor accommodates a new bedroom under the existing front roof, ensuite, bathroom, rear bedroom with a bay window and new steel framed skylights over. A new dormer window to the street face of the existing roof matches the size, proportion and detail of the dormer of its attached neighbour, once again unifying the dwellings as a visual pair in the public domain. Designed by Christopher Polly Architects.
