House Suka

Year : 2018

Status: Awaiting Construction

Rebel Base Collective

The brief called for the extension to the existing main and back house. Key to the brief was adding character to the previously blunt east elevation while respecting its existing geometry. The new design also includes the addition of a mezzanine floor level to the main house. The existing kitchen is extended giving more counter space, storage space and a new kitchen island adjacent to the new dining room. Windows on the eastern façade of the 44 square meter dining room allow natural light into the room. A new glass enclosed entrance sits between a 37 square meter lounge and an existing TV room. The designed main bedroom has an en-suite, study and walk-in closet. An outdoor bathroom sits between the main house extension and the cottage. The addition of the dining room and lounge allow for the extension of the existing garage and a new 19 square meter store room. The existing concrete staircase is retained, refurbished and structurally reinforced to create a new entrance from the newly extended garage to the TV room on the ground floor. Alternatively, from the basement, the family can use the new concrete ramps In the new design, the small backhouse is extended into a separate cottage.
