Originally a basic Federation bungalow, this house was transformed in 1992 into a country home, punching through the existing roof form to create an upper level parent's retreat. The clients reference points were buildings they grew up with in western NSW, metal roofs, wide verandahs and open fire place. The floor plan at the ground level was rearranged to provide two living spaces as well as three bedrooms and a large rear terrace connected to the backyard with its magnificent coral tree.

The client's three small children grew up in this house and moved on with their lives. The clients still live in the house to this day.
