Ardoch transforms an existing heritage residence by retaining the finely detailed period frontage and introducing a new sequence of living spaces beyond. The project extends above and below the original home, with a concealed basement accommodating a wine cellar, bar and golf simulator, together with a new pool, cabana, alfresco areas and expanded family living spaces.

The new work is positioned to preserve the prominence of the original residence while opening the home more directly to the garden and outdoor areas. The result is a substantial contemporary addition that expands the way the house can be used without competing with its heritage character.
