Coastal Renovation & Extension, Ulverstone

A renovation and extension to an existing 1970s home in Ulverstone, on Tasmania's North-West coast. The design extends the form and architectural language of the original home, rather than working against it.

The project centres on capturing ocean views and creating a large, central social space with direct access to a semi-covered deck — ideal for indoor/outdoor coastal living. Extending to the north brought all-day sun into the main living areas and allowed for a garage beneath.

Landscaping was integrated into the design of the extension to soften the building's edges and strengthen the connection between the internal living spaces and the outdoors.

​

Steel sheet cladding was selected to handle the projects coastal environment with minimal maintenance , interlocking panels with expressed joints were used to create lines that match the roof cladding and draws attention to the portal frame form of the building
