Skirt + Rock House

ProjectAlterations & AdditionsLocationVaucluse, NSWCompletion2011DesignerMCK ArchitectsBuilderArtechne

Artechne was engaged to construct a striking rear extension to this existing bungalow – designed to centre around the exposed rock face at the back of the property.

The new addition features a dramatic double-height ceiling and high-level glazing, creating a light-filled living space that anchors the home. The original bungalow façade was preserved and restored, maintaining the character of the streetscape while adding a bold new architectural layer to the rear.
