Other Projects by Sam Crawford Architects
Waverley House
It is quite common for our residential clients to live overseas or interstate during much of the design and construction of their project. We find that with a good internet connection, some face to face meetings at critical stages, and regular teleconferences, this can work very well.It is also quite common for our clients to start out the project, single or child free, and complete the project with 2 or 3 children.Our clients for this project were no exception. They lived Hong Kong for much of the process, and returned with two children near project completion.The original house, a modest inter-war bungalow typical of the Waverley area, was worth retaining. We simply removed the asbestos rear lean-tos and created a new kitchen and living area opening onto a covered outdoor entertaining space and a plunge pool to the rear.High level louvered glass windows to the north and south allow in light and sun whilst maintaining privacy, and high level timber louvered windows to the east and west allow natural ventilation without the hot morning and afternoon sun. A rear pergola runs the length of the western façade preventing views of an unsightly two storey neighbour and providing much needed shade. A covered outdoor BBQ area expands the living space.A muted palette of whites expands the sense of space.The original facade of the house is retained but viewed through a translucent screen.
