The Anzac

by Dalecki Design

Poorly oriented living spaces were given a strategic overhaul with mindfully placed openings bringing light and moments for engagement into the new-build areas. The bold, modern forms of the new kitchen, living and outdoor entertaining spaces signify a change in the use and experience of this portion of the house, but are tied to the character of the original home and surrounding neighbourhood in the application of materials, such as face brick and brise soleil walls.

Increasing engagement with external spaces creates a sense of anticipation moving through the house, leading to the moment of reveal of captivating city views upon entering the new lofty and light-filled living space. Operable glazing and clerestory windows draw northern light and natural air ow into the entertaining space. Floor-to ceiling glazing provides a visual connection to the outdoor entertaining area and city views, further emphasizing the sense of space and connection to exterior spaces.
