DA House

2017/2018

“54 years after the house was constructed we gave the house a small update, whilst maintaining its original qualities yet removing all interior partitions.”

An architect built the three storeys DA house for himself in 1964. He had 7 children. The boys all slept in the basement and the girls all slept on the second floor.

The family had a piano on the first floor. 

In 1970 the architect sold the house to a couple of accountants. this new family used the basement as a taxation consultation, whilst keeping the two floors above as a house for their family. 

54 years after the house was constructed we gave the house a small renovation, whilst maintaining its original qualities yet removing all interior partitions.

The new house included a photography studio as well as open domestic spaces.

Exterior additions were also demolished in order to recover the original patio.
