Text description provided by the architects. The 120m2 footprint has been cleverly re-planned and extended with the desire for longevity being at the forefront of decision making throughout. With the generosity of volume prioritised over the additional floor area, only 20 m2 was added in the process. A practical approach was taken to sustainability, working within the framework of the existing building the thermal mass and structure of existing concrete was utilised in conjunction with new elements, including warm-roof construction, thermally broken aluminum joinery, natural and sustainably sourced material selections, solar hot water and integrated heat recovery system.
