High Performance Inner West

Named after the owner’s Australian Sheepdog, Tassie. A playful new addition that houses the lounge, kitchen and a 16 (!) seater table around a central outdoor deck. A skillion roof with big clerestory windows above the dining table allows the northern light to enter the kitchen and dining area. The gabled roof creates a cosy lounge area. Big shelves and closet space hide a box gutter collecting rainwater and connecting the new and existing building. The highlight of the design is the brick pizza oven and chimney, designed as part of the brick and concrete outdoor seating area. In collaboration with Carland Constructions.

Performance: New 140mm stud walls, waterproofing membrane, double glazed timber windows and doors and insulation throughout.
