LAKE HAVEN HOUSE
Thornton, NSW
Alterations + Additions · CDC approved
Growing the home around the family.
Lake Haven House makes thoughtful use of a long lakeside site, retaining the existing rear dwelling while introducing a contemporary three-bedroom home at the street frontage.
Separate access and a two-lot subdivision allow both residences to function independently, with open-plan living extending to a covered alfresco area and garden.
The result balances privacy, practicality and connection, creating two distinct homes with a simple, contemporary character.
