family of five. With a compact 200m2 block in the Sydney suburb of Leichhardt, the challenge was to squeeze the most out of the site and accommodate the family&#8217;s needs without compromising on design.<\/p><p>The design process was a collaborative effort, with constant testing of design aesthetics for both the interior and exterior, against buildability and cost. Drawing inspiration from traditional pitched roof cottages, R\u00b2 Studios put a modern twist on the design to achieve a second storey without adding bulk and scale to the street. The area is prone to flooding, so the new residence had to be raised almost a meter from the existing level, while also minimizing its perceived height.<\/p><p>The ground floor of the residence comprises an open plan living, kitchen, and dining area, with a laundry and powder room tucked behind the central staircase. A guest bedroom facing the street doubles up as a large study. The top floor houses three bedrooms and two bathrooms nestled within a pitched roof. At the rear of the property, there is an outdoor space designed for young kids to play and for adult entertaining.<\/p><p>Despite the small site, R\u00b2 Studios skilfully employed various materials to play to the strengths of the design while minimizing its bulk and scale. Ground floor face brick gives a nod to the traditional brick cottage and the existing house that was demolished, while lighter charred timber and membrane cladding on the top level add lightness to the composition.<\/p><p>The success of the design is a testament to R\u00b2 Studios&#8217; expertise in designing for small sites and their ability to create a functional and stylish home that meets the needs of a growing family of five.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3841be e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a3841be\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fec7bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1fec7bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"609\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Leichhardt-L-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6856\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Leichhardt-L-scaled.jpg 609w, https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Leichhardt-L-768x3227.jpg 768w, https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Leichhardt-L-487x2048.jpg 487w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 609px) 100vw, 609px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3a0dec e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e3a0dec\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Completed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6751,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","dt_portfolio_category":[28],"dt_portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-92","dt_portfolio","type-dt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dt_portfolio_category-completed"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio\/92","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/dt_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92"}],"version-history":[{"count":40,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio\/92\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6859,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio\/92\/revisions\/6859"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdt_portfolio_category&post=92"},{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/r2studios.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fdt_portfolio_tags&post=92"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
