​

Brief:​

​

Alteration and Addition to the rear of a heritage Terrace house in Glebe.

 

The owners wanted to compliment the front of the house and extend the house in a style which would both sympathise with the existing house and age gracefully, whilst implementing sustainable design principles of natural ventilation, natural lighting, solar panels, hydronic heating and preservation of permeable landscape area.
