“A NEAT JULIET BALCONY AT REAR OF THE HOUSE ALLOWS
THE OWNERS PRIVACY AND GREAT AIRFLOW WITHOUT
HAVING TO CEDE TOO MUCH BEDROOM SPACE.”
Jo Gillies, architect

REAR EXTERIOR Top left A Vitrocsa sliding door recesses completely to create a juliet balcony.
Automated external venetian blinds works as a solar shade and blackout to the main bedroom.
Nu-Wall aluminium cladding. FACADE Top right The sensitively designed first-floor extension
is barely visible from the street. KITCHEN/DINING Above and opposite Miele ovens are set into
charcoal cabinetry, designed and installed by Leicht Kitchens. Modern plaster was removed to
reveal the original chimney brickwork. The Lopi gas fire was selected for its ability to connect
to the home automation system. A Bora downdraft extraction system is neatly hidden in the
island bench, which is topped with Caesarstone in Snow. Muuto dining table, Living Edge.
