Project Description

St Kilda Second Storey

Built to a remarkable design by Rara Architecture, this second storey extension had potential to be Elwood Building’s scariest ever project. Access was difficult, the original building was heritage-listed and tall trees impacted the site at every turn…it was a job for the brave!

But as is often the case, what started out as scary turned into rewarding. By meeting the challenges of the job head-on we were given the opportunity to craft a spectacular second-storey featuring kitchen, bathroom and laundry areas, additional bedrooms and a broad balcony.

Along the way, we gathered new expertise dealing with the eccentricities of bureaucracy and the intricacies of good architecture… and discovered a new level of versatility in our project management skills.
