This contemporary addition has breathed new life into a very compact first home. Widening the entry hallway has created a space that welcomes guests to the new living area. There is space for extended dining tables, sofas overlooking the deck, and a cosy sitting area that can be screened off behind sliding partitions. The highlight is the covered deck area, with adjustable louvre roofing to provide shade and shelter in spaces that were previously exposed to intense sun and strong winds. Overall the result is a practical space for family life that is comfortable year-round, and is perfect for hosting large family gatherings.
