Located in the Sydney suburb of Killara, this red brick house on a sandstone base has been extended and transformed by Bijl Architecture, bringing the building’s architecture into the 21st century. Improving the connection between rooms and increasing natural lighting were vital in transforming the house, as was the creation of a large open living space that opens onto an outdoor room and deck. The previous, boxy design of the house did not allow for any sense of connection to the back garden from inside, with only a small, paved outdoor area for entertaining accessed via a single door.
