Location : 16 Mars Street
Construction type : Full brick
Site area : 1000m2
Owners objective : Development for family members
Duration of construction : 10 months
Completion date : Feb 2008
With such a huge block the owners decided to design a large home each, taking advantage of what a duplex can offer. The result was 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, separate living & lounge, study & upstairs rumpus rooms each, still with massive rear yards.
With such a fairly steep slope there was a considerable amount of bulk excavation & retaining walls around the building. Piering down to shale ensured the concrete slab & full brick ground floor maximum stability, with brick veneer first floor to capitalize on thermal heating & cooling.
