A Natural Extension
New England: A Natural Extension
An extension borne from all things natural which joins with the original home and yet lifts it to the next level! Timber both new and old, corrugated iron, recycled bricks, mud bricks, stone and glass - a diverse collection of nature's building products all come together in this creation.
New ironbark timber framing, corrugated iron and a recycled brick walkway make up the Colonnade which leads you to the new entrance with its custom-made doors.
The new area uses mud brick walls and recycled ironbark framing to enclose it, as the recycled brick flooring continues throughout. Timber-look aluminium windows blend with the existing and special louvre windows keep the wind out for winter warmth and yet allow for maximum airflow when required - especially in the Breezeway.
The Lounge room is a winter sanctuary, facing north for full solar passive effect. The full sized double glazed bay window provides an uninterrupted view of nature. Stone gathered from the property has been laid into feature walls, and timber-clad ceilings are the icing on top. A composite timber deck wraps around the bay and out onto the Alfresco area which mimics the Colonnade to tie the whole extension together.
The existing carport was enclosed and given a burnished concrete floor, timber ceiling and large north-facing windows. A new carport using solid ironbark, iron and exposed rafters to match the rest of the home was built to replace it.
This is a great example of one of our unique Custom Builds, where we take your plans and turn them into reality.
