Being well versed in negotiations, we consulted with the Cottesloe Council on behalf of our clients to grant driveway access, which varied from the written form of council policy. We developed a strategy that included site levels, and so consultation with the neighbours ensured a suitable retaining plan and shoring methods for the encroaching heritage structure were established early.
All bedrooms were positioned upstairs to allocate the maximum space for living and entertaining spaces on the ground floor. This consists of the study/guest, kitchen and living zone, and games room adjoining the alfresco entertaining area. The design encouraged a seamless connection between the bar and the semi-submerged pool, which was cleverly executed to double as a retaining bolster for the questionable foundations of the neighbouring heritage building.
The family enjoyed a few years of comfortable living, before recently selling the property on to another family for a very handsome profit!
