The Outcome
The project culminated in a striking two-storey family home that combines modern design with practicality. The open-plan layout and unique corner extension enhance the indoor-outdoor flow, while the floating staircase adds elegance. The client was highly satisfied with the inviting space created for family gatherings.
How we did it
The construction of the two-storey family home featured a modern open-plan layout supported by slender steel frames hidden within the walls and floors. Hartigan designed a unique corner extension to enhance the indoor-outdoor connection and engineered a floating staircase using cantilever principles.
The Challenge
A significant challenge was creating the unique corner extension that appeared unsupported, requiring careful engineering to ensure structural stability without compromising the design. Additionally, achieving the floating staircase demanded innovative solutions to minimise load while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
