Nestled amidst the leafy streets of Canberra’s inner north, the Loft House addition delivers a warm, light filled living space with a ‘lofty’ retreat above. Located behind a compact 1950’s Riley Newsum prefabricated house, the addition emerges up into the skyline with a sympathetic gable form.

With the past year mostly spent cooped inside our homes because of the pandemic, many people now realize the importance of making their home a space they can enjoy and be comfortable in. At the same time, most people are also tired of all the same renovation ideas that are overdone and are looking for something unique.

A remodeling project can take much of your time, money, and energy. If you’re doing many things by yourself, it can feel like a second full-time job, and it’s only natural that you’re exhausted all the time. As the project goes on, you can encounter many problems, such as budget changes or the inability to stick to deadlines.
