Alterations & Additions
Most of my work begins with a house that already exists — often a much-loved one, sometimes a heritage one, almost always one that no longer fits the family living in it. Every project here tells the story of what was there before, what the brief called for, and how the finished house changed the way its owners live in it.
Where a house is older than sixty years, I handle the heritage application as well as the council submission. Drag the sliders inside each project to see the change for yourself.
Atholl, Sandton · Johannesburg
A 1990s face-brick house reworked inside and out — a recessed entrance portico, and a double-volume living pavilion with an open pine truss opening onto the lawn.
Melrose · Johannesburg
A gabled heritage home under slate roofs, extended with a deep garden verandah, new dormers and a face-brick stair tower with an arched steel window.
Saxonwold · Johannesburg
A glazed gable pavilion, light and deliberately contemporary, set against the clay-tiled roofs of a Saxonwold heritage home.
Westcliff · Johannesburg
A shuttered balcony gable over a stone base, reached by a sweep of new garden steps on the Westcliff ridge.
The Willows
Twin white gables facing the park, with a reworked kitchen, lounge and patio behind them.
Hurlingham, Sandton · Johannesburg
A glazed gable patio on a stone plinth, stepping down to the pool and the garden.
Craighall · Johannesburg
A glass-roofed patio that turns a closed-in back of house into an all-weather outdoor room.
Bryanston · Johannesburg
A double-storey family house given a new garden face — balcony gable, covered patio and pool.
Bryanston · Johannesburg
A brick and glass entertainment pavilion under a red-edged roof, its deck built around an existing tree.
Plettenberg Bay · Western Cape
Double-storey covered decks under a white gable, for a coastal house that now lives outdoors.
Cedar Lakes, Fourways · Johannesburg
Walls out, light in — a kitchen, dining and living room remade as one open-plan space.

A gabled garden room with an open timber truss, stepping down through terraced planters to the lawn.
