This early-1900s-built home in Sydney, Australia has undergone a significant expansion that integrates seamlessly into the existing structure. Helmed by local firm CO-AP, the renovation involved “modernizing” the home as well as creating a two-story concrete addition to the rear of the property.

Maximising natural light and green space were the project’s biggest priorities and was accomplished by adding a skylit staircase to the center of the house and opening up the extension to the garden by way of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. A spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area are contained in this space

Annandale, Australia. 2011

Living in a line. A narrow site containing huge architecture!!

The conceptual framework for this project is very much influenced by its context: the long narrow site is closely bounded by residential units to the south-west and the Piano Factory warehouse apartment conversion to the north. The west and east offer framed views to established trees and green streetscape respectively.

Project Area: 296.85 sqm

An extension by Co-Ap Collaborative Architecture Practice to a two-storey terrace in Sydney's inner-west unfolds along the length of the site to take in a series of split-level spaces and pocket gardens.
