In 2002 we embarked on a major extension to our house. Living in an older Canberra suburb meant we had plenty of back yard. So we utilised that, as well as the northerly aspect to add a new living room, library, master bedroom, wardrobe and ensuite. Over a nine month period our house was transformed from the little three bedroom cottage to a nice four bedroom family home.
Along the way we added a nice courtyard and fish pond and rendered the classic Canberra red brick facade to give us more of a modern look.
