Bridge House takes full advantage of a naturally stunning site, straddling a creek bed and touching the earth lightly environmentally and physically.

Sweeping views of hills, beach, rocks and ocean inspired the fan shaped plan of Fleurieu Beach House - a model for coastal living.

The new living area of this heritage home captures glimpses of the sky and opens seamlessly to the outdoors.

A new opening with integrated seating transforms this home from dated colonial-style, to modern, minimal and cool. What a difference!

These owners didn't want a 'generic open-plan box'. Instead, a series of interconnected rooms are linked by a dramatic brick colonnade.

By using similar colours, materials and proportions as the original home without copying it, this addition fits in effortlessly.

Full of light and opening onto the pool and outdoor area, this modern pavilion is the perfect addition to this heritage home.

Some clever solutions mean even a home on a long, narrow block can capture scenic, wraparound views of the ocean.

Modern homes can be criticised for lacking character, but modern doesn't need to equal sterile.

An addition which doesn't overshadow the original heritage house, but improves the home's spaciousness, access to light and the yard.

Bungalows are charming homes, but they tend to be dark. This addition finds a way to bring light into the depths of this bungalow.
