Here is an award winning heritage project that included restoration, renovation, and new extensions for a charming 1916 timber beach bungalow. The architects sought to provide a solution to accommodate a family with four children, but with a minimal change to the original house.
Originally designed by Sydney architect James Peddle, the tiny �Arts and Crafts Timber Bungalow� has been untouched since 1921 and had been kept in poor shape.
��the humble beach house, typified a great understanding of the environment with its wide verandas, fireplace and small scale��
The house was restored and given an upgraded kitchen and bathroom. The wonderful result of the new design also included two new extensions in pavilion form, subtly sustaining a respectful co-existence of old and new.
The additions � a two-story tower to serve as the parents� retreat, and a long building for the children � were stepped down the hill, positioned to form a series of external spaces, and serving as modern interpretations of the original bungalow by using the same stone, corrugated iron and timber as the original.
