The Esplanade
Glenelg South, South Australia, 2018
2019 AIA (SA) Commendation – Interior Architecture
An uncommon project, this addition seeks to expand on a 2003 award winning residential work by architect Con Bastiras. As an overarching review of the house, the new additions expand on the existing footprint, incorporating warmth and layering to the existing internal volumes, and expanding with complimentary volumes and spaces.
At all times, a connected but protective ethos was adopted to deal with the challenging conundrum of wanting the view, but not wanting to be in the proverbial fishbowl…and in addition ameliorate glare and sunlight.
