Text description provided by the architects. On a tight urban block in Bondi Junction, this addition to a small workers cottage is like a giant three dimensional puzzle. With no views, bordered by terrace houses on each side and a 10m high wall on its northern rear boundary, this site is heavily landlocked with limited access to sunlight, aspect and space. The house forms part of a row in a heritage conservation area adding additional planning constraints. New work is to be at the rear, concealed from the street, and, below the front ridge line, leaving little room for additional building footprint and mass. Our brief was to facilitate the flexibility of use as either a 3 bedroom house or for our client to use for her psychology practice.
