The internal spaces were long and thin due to the restrictions of the site, so Smith had to find design solutions that tackled privacy and light ingress. The house responds to this using step downs, half levels and excavation to gain floor space. The central hallway was retained but widened a little to provide access to the garage, while a lower level was excavated from the original two-metre crawl area. It now houses spare bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry and media room. The renovated house is double its original size with rooms leading off a central hallway.HANDRAIL
