A large, open deck forms the centrepiece of the Elanora Height House, sitting above an enigmatic green box which houses the shower below, accessed via a folded timber and galvanised steel staircase. The brief for the Elanora Heights House was deceptively simple - the retention of the existing dwelling was required, with careful interventions required to be made to the external living spaces and the manner by which they flowed to both the internal living spaces and wider garden areas. Our clients, both retired and keen gardeners, wanted to have better connections with their well-loved established garden and the spectacular views surrounding the property. More street appeal and a structured, inviting front entranceway also formed the project brief. Source URL: http://www.bijlarchitecture.com.au/elanora-heights-house/#.WR6FwriaxqE
