This small, free standing house was renovated by Stanic Harding so it could accommodate small family of three which has now grown to four. The house is a Californian bungalow located in a conservation zone under North Sydney Councils. During the renovation the asymmetrical addition was designed and added to roof plane. That added contemporary expression to the whole house look. New living/dining spaces flowed into a large and long white kitchen that connected to a flat and playable backyard with a built in seat so owners could lunch outside while their young one playing near by. The changes to the house are legible with the carefully scaled new elements set in contrast to the older elements but so as to improve the overall composition. [Stanic Harding]
