Creating Shelter – Canadian Bay Cabin by Wolveridge Architects

“When the clients, Brett and Lea, first came to us in 2016, they were keen to renovate the existing dwelling rather than knock it down,” says Jerry Wolveridge. “We canvassed the idea of a modernist home and I recall informing the clients that, for a building to make the most of its site and to maximise the potential for views, it must be allowed to push and pull around the site and not be restricted by traditional thinking, symmetry or the like.” As a result, the decision was made to demolish the existing house and start afresh with a design for a two-storey modernist home.
