THE BRIEF
The client wanted a second custom residence that maximised the development potential of the subdivided property while remaining appropriate to the established Beecroft setting. The home needed to provide generous family accommodation while responding to heritage controls, bushfire requirements, significant existing trees and the available building envelope.
THE DESIGN RESPONSE
The home was designed with a traditional architectural character to complement the Beecroft streetscape and work cohesively with Malton Road I House. The building footprint, layout and setbacks were carefully developed around the site's heritage, bushfire and tree-protection constraints while making efficient use of the available land. The Development Application required coordination with Hornsby Shire Council, specialist consultants and adjoining property owners. A detailed Schedule of Finishes was also prepared to coordinate materials and finishes through construction.
PROJECT OUTCOME
Malton Road II House completed the second residence within the Beecroft dual occupancy development, creating a substantial family home while resolving heritage, bushfire, tree-protection and subdivision constraints. Together with Malton Road I House, the project demonstrates how careful building design and planning can unlock the potential of a difficult residential site while maintaining an appropriate response to the surrounding Beecroft character.
