LYNEHAM HOUSE
“We loved the design immediately; it exceeded our expectations for what we thought possible.”
Designed by SOS Architects
“Our home since 2000, in which three of our four kids were born, has undergone several changes over the years. Bedrooms have been added and existing ones renovated, along with several other general upgrades.
It has gone from a three bedroom ex-govvie to a four bedroom home. While much of the house worked well, the living area had low ceilings, few windows and was proportionately small in comparison to the rest of the house.”
“We wanted a more spacious living room to accommodate teenagers and younger adults still living at home.
We didn’t want to reconfigure any rooms but were restricted by not having much space to extend because of a north facing carport and the boundary at the front of the property. We really only had about 80cm to the north and 1.5m to the front.”
The process with Silas at SOS Architects was very smooth and efficient. Silas put us at ease by understanding what we wanted and what the challenges were. Silas came up with a design that we loved immediately; a design that exceeded our expectations for what we thought possible.
“Our new living area has a lowered concrete slab with in-floor heating, a cathedral ceiling and plenty of natural light from two skylights.
The footprint on our block hasn’t changed much, but the home is dramatically different.
It is a modestly sized four bedroom house with a kitchen/dining/living area that’s connected and flows really well, anchored by a central Finnish Mass Oven.”
