Y House, Hillarys

The upper floor extension of project home with a new ‘child zone’ upstairs. This allows ground floor living spaces to be combined and flow out to a new poolside deck. The design provides a secret parents retreat, a hanging staircase and dramatically modernises the street appearance of the original house, though using elements of the original. Cooling afternoon breezes flow between the two new elements and down the stair to ventilate the whole house.
