The proposed alterations and additions provide for the retention of the significant elements of the property while adapting the building and site for the provision of reasonable contemporary requirements.
The building is a single storey brick residence in the Inter-war Bungalow style, constructed on a corner lot, within a prominent garden setting. It is located in a draft Conservation Area. It is typical of standard residential houses of the period produced by builders to meet the requirements of covenants. The building retains the key elements of the original design with respect to the tiled roof, face brick walls and fenestration. The open garden and fencing provide a sympathetic appearance within the streetscape and the corner setting, without being of particular significance.
The proposal involved the demolition of the rear extension and enclosed verandah, to provide a kitchen and conservatory with a new verandah, A carport and a swimming pool were constructed in the backyard. A first floor, attic style accommodation, which is sympathetic in keeping with the Californian bungalow style architecture, was added to provide more space in the existing house.
The additional space allowed for the retention of the existing ground floor rooms without substantial alteration. Contemporary standard bedrooms were provided within the proposed first floor without compromising the original layout, exterior and interior design.
