SH House

Before the renovation, SH House was almost completely cut off from the expansive rear garden and featured small windows that didn't let much natural light inside.

The new oak staircase functions as the “backbone” of the home, connecting the more private spaces upstairs with the open-plan living and dining space on the ground floor.

The open-plan living area features a hanging fireplace. The space wraps around a central core containing the new oak staircase, bathroom, and storage.

The concrete extension continues the dramatically sloped roofline of the original structure.

The ground floor is dedicated to an open-plan living and dining space that connects with the garden through the new extension, while the upper floors contain bedrooms and a rumpus room.

The sleek white-and-concrete interior fit-out provides a contemporary, open-plan living space for the young family.

The extension to the rear of the home is constructed from splayed concrete – a material most often used in infrastructure projects.

Sliding glass doors offer expansive views of the rear garden—and they can be opened in the spring and summer months to extend the living space outside.

The SH House is named after the clients–Stefan and Hanne—and it realizes their dream of a home connected to the outdoors.

The contemporary concrete extension sits comfortably alongside the original brickwork.
