An incredible subterranean extension designed by Architect Prineas creating a completely new, multi‐purpose wing to an existing residence with bathroom refurbishments and outdoor modification. This sophisticated addition involved significant excavation to build a new three-story wing and lift installation to service this stylish family residence.

The site of the new wing was originally unused land, which required excavation, structural propping and reinforcement to maintain the integrity of surrounding structures. Agia Projects provided design and construction resolution across various elements of this project, particularly for the new elements joining the existing structure. The clients desired a seamless and subtle integration of elements to create a feel of free-flowing modern living space. Agia Projects carried out the project whilst clients continued to live in the residence with their children. This required close management and on‐site presence to ensure protection, programme and cleaning plans were met to minimise client impact and disruption to neighbours.

The early 2017 finish of this project has won industry awards and accolades. Most importantly this project exceeded clients expectations of what could be created in this space and the lifestyle improvements this addition has provided their family.

Scope of works included:

• Full construction management and builder responsibilities

• Ground works, contiguous piling and structural excavation

• Custom joinery for entertainment, library and study

• Lift installation serving three levels

• Integration of new building to existing property

• Bathroom refurbishment
