Chung Architects: Castle Cove alterations is a rear extension project of a family home in northern Sydney. The project involved the renovation of a 1970’s home to render it more suitable to the needs of family. The existing home did not relate to the sites slope or orientate to take advantage of pᴀssive solar design.
The family has diverse interests and needs for the home including work from home facilities, home arts and crafts studio and operating a community food cooperative for over 50 local families. The project added a combined living kitchen and dining area, outdoor room, additional bedroom and reorganised laundry.
The extension has become the new heart of the home. The family now spend the majority of their time in this combined living area, and the additional functionality was all achieved in a modest 20 sqm extension.
