Three-storey town house

Three-storey town house

Brief

Here was a traditional townhouse with unrealised potential — an attic storey with commanding rooftop views of town and coastline. The obstacle: a decaying roof fabric and poor access restricted by a ladder stair and trap-door.

Solutions

Our design centres around 3 elements: a restructured roof and fabric to give clear spans, a new spiral stair from first to second floors and an enlarged dormer window to increase head-room over the stairs. This creates a new ensuite bedroom.

Elsewhere, alterations are to services and fabric, upgrading bathrooms and kitchen. At ground floor, there is a slight intervention — a small splay to the NE corner of the building greatly improves ease of vehicle movements into adjoining garages.
