An extension and renovation for a 1925 brick bungalow, designed and built by WMA as a homeowner / builder project. Period features of the old house were restored and reconstructed inside and out. The rear extension featured matching red brick with a mixture of traditional and contemporary detailing, providing a different but sympathetic architecture. the interiors feature high ceilings with honed Carrara marble and black granite tiles and benchtops.

New Residential, Extension and Renovation Projects
Extension and Renovation: Seacombe Heights, SA
A front of house extension and renovation constructed over time as a Homeowner / Builder project. A new kitchen, dining room, carport and deck were added to the front yard, taking advantage of city views and conserving private rear yard space. The contemporary addition, new driveway and rock wall landscaping completely transforms the street view.
Extension and Renovation:
Silverdale, WA, USA
A two storey, Pacific NW modern style extension and renovation of an existing 1950s shack, located on a large wooded lot overlooking the Hood Canal with views of the Olympic Mountains to the West of Seattle. A new heavy timber covered deck to the west incorporates roll down sunshades to control late afternoon glare. A two storey addition clad in dark stained board and batten contains a new bedroom wing, while an attached garage is clad in T&G Cedar to match new cladding on the existing house. Construction begins in early 2025.
New Residential Design:
Douglas Point, SA
A new 2-storey Hamptons Style beach house at remote Douglas Point was designed to fit the contours and constraints of the site while complimenting the massing of the adjacent shacks. A driveway and entrance at the upper floor improves access, a lower level deck with outdoor kitchen is sheltered from the sea breeze, and beach level boat storage makes use of the 100 year flood zone.The house was carefully located around existing rock features and vegetation to preserve the natural beauty of the site.
