Alterations & Additions to Single Dwelling House External & Internal Makeover | South Maroubra

Site Sloping To The Rear

This project was conceived by the need to maximize the available floor space & upgrade the site to meet the demands of the contemporary Australian lifestyle. Both internal & external spaces for entertaining were integral to this project. Broad span door sets opening onto the courtyard and decking area provide a seamless flow between the inside and out.

This project involved the addition of 3 Bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, open plan dining, separate entertaining room, external entertaining areas, and an enclosed garage.
