A simple, quality extension to a classic Perth brick and tile bungalow including a Great Room with particularly gracious and unusual proportions and interesting features which negotiate the transition from old to new.

This project was an addition in keeping with a medium sized, medium quality 1940s brick and tile bungalow with timber floors on limestone foundations with dark stained timber door and window carpentry and fireplaces. Pragmatic addition of a large open carport, re-roofing, a new attic in a huge roofspace, the repair of existing spaces and new rear rooms and amenity to suit a large family. A voluminous double height Great Room has been built with a very high level of craftsmanship in the American tradition of the Arts and Crafts Bungalow using recycled, remilled old-growth jarrah to all new solid timber second fixing carpentry.

Fancy horizontal brickwork laid in stackbond, stretcher bond and incorporating shadow lines by half-brick steps influenced by the Chicago style have been incorporated into an enormous modern fireplace with interconnecting solid timber stair treads and shelving. The Great Room included installation of highly ornate fancy ceiling work with a very large Art Deco geometric ceiling rose and detailed geometric cornices, aligning with highlight windows bathing the room in soft light. Built in Nedlands in 2017.
