The Walden Residence is a extension and renovation project for an existing double storey brick veneer house. The renovation involved updating the existing facade to give the house a modern look, The original arched window features were preserved and complemented by the addition of new steel arched windows and entry doors.
A front porch extension was added to serve as the focal point of the house and provides access to the reverse living area via new stairs. The internal layout was also updated, with a particular focus on the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen was reconfigured to create an open living space and allow " ar a more functional and modern design.

My role in the project:
I was involved in a project at the concept design and design development stages. Also, I was responsible for preparing the documentation set for Development Application to Glenorchy Council. The project site consisted of several titles, which required the involvement of a town planner due to the implications of combining them.
In late 2021, the client requested changes to the facade design, which I was responsible for amending and collaborating on.
I also prepared visualisation images for submission. In the beginning of 2022, we lodged the project to the council, but it was put on hold due to the council's notification of a rezoning that would double the number of storeys in the building.
Despite this, I gained va uable experience in adapting to changes in a project and working collaboratively with clients, consultants, and other team members to ensure the project met everyone s needs and objectives.
