Alexandra Ave South Yarra

​

Garage | Workshop | Garden Terrace

 

Some projects aren't about making statements. The works currently under construction at Alexandra Ave South Yarra are one such project. The client's brief involved the design of a new large garage and workshop to connect the elevated house with the street level below. To do so the resulting works will require the demolition of the existing balcony terraces to excavate and construct the garage and workshop. The project will also see part of the existing house to be propped and supported to providing the new workshop and connection to the house to be built underneath. Working around the existing house as well as neighbouring buildings and garages built to the site boundary presents challenges in structural engineering. The final result will see a newly reinstated elevated garden terrace to the front of the house minimising any visual impact on the existing street front
