Commercial/residential – two levels of commercial space for offices or showroom, 1 single bed apartment and 1 x 2-bedroom apartment.
This was an exciting project, implementing the design of renowned architect William Smart from Smart Design. The original elements of the heritage terrace were complemented by modern design elements to create functional spaces to work and live. In keeping with the brickwork of the terrace, the new design extensively utilises face bricks in an external curved blade wall, that creates a unique façade to the Building.
Restricted space on site was overcome by incorporating an open basement in the design. Jackal Constructions overcame the confined space for excavating below the existing building, by installing a temporary support structure. Lined CFA concrete piling and shotcrete enabled a sound, open space to be created, providing a strong foundation for the terrace and works above. The owner was excited to see the project come together.

Our client had recently purchased a building complex with previously approved Development Application plans providing for major renovation and extensions to 4 units.
The Development Application included the addition of two large garages providing 4 car spots. The architects’ imaginative design, harnessed the beauty of natural sandstone for the garage space. Although the garaging would require a large footprint; garden and green space was retained by creating a ‘green’ rooftop garden. The efficient use of space and the visual impact has been maximised by Jana Osvald from Umbaco Landscape Architects and their team.
A truly inspiring transformation of the space behind the building.
