GRAS was commissioned to undertake feasibility studies for retrofitting and extending this mid-century suburban home for a growing family with increasing spatial and environmental comfort requirements.

Whilst the project looked to make fabric and spatial improvements for energy, comfort and organisational reasons, it also used the opportunity to reconsider the existing building’s setting and, in particular, the flow of exterior to interior spaces, along with the figurative expression of the house through gable forms and eaves details.
