River House required a lot of investigation of the concept, into this Sketch Design.
A DA was required as the site is flood prone, and on the river, with certain setbacks and any added portion had to be above ground to suit council’s requirement that existing flood volume retention was maintained.
Solar studies confirmed we were on the right track, with some roof adjustments between concept and through this stage.
Much work went into resolving the interior layout, throughout the original building and the added ‘wedge’. This included collaboration with the cabinet makers & designers, to ensure everything fitted, without crowding the spaces that were being added for increased volume.
