Alterations and Additions to existing 3BR 1930s Art Deco Home - Completed December 2012

 

With an immovable deadline, this commission was accepted with an extremely tight timeframe for design and documentation. K+AR put just about everything else on hold to complete Schematic Design in a week, Detailed Design in 3 weeks and Building Permit Documentation in 4 weeks.

This is not something that should be repeated, but the client, expecting their first baby later in the year needed an exceptional timeframe from both architect and builder. Work commenced on site mid-July with a 20-week construction period.

Just in case, K+AR devised a plan which could cope with the potential delays that often come with construction and especially, alterations and addition projects.
 

The new works provided for the works to be staged, where the clients could occupy the original heritage home during construction, with minimal disruption. Upon completion of the new works, the client could decant into the new living area, complete with master suite and separate entry. Modification to the original building could then be completed and handed over.
