This project required a second storey addition to be in keeping with the original home. The existing ground floor structure is uses a double brick cavity wall. Engineer Sean O'Neil came up with a concrete ring beam bonding the top of the ground floor walls together so that the addition could sit on top and effectively strengthen the house.
While the new floor had to be lightweight, the use of decorative brick sills to the new windows ties the addition in with both the original bungalow and its previous second storey addition.
The architecture thus creates additional space without compromising the aesthetic appearance of the home.
