Fitzroy is yet another one of Property Changes inner city residential developments. This outstanding renovation included a redesign of the entire first floor, including the addition of a first storey terrace and terrace pergola.

This project was performed under a Heritage Overlay that sought to protect the street facing façade. The proposed partial demolition of the existing dwelling for the construction of first floor accessible roof top terrace was consistent with the purpose and decision guidelines of the Heritage Overlay. Most notably City of Yarra Incorporated Heritage Plan outlined ‘Construction or extension of a deck, which can be attached to an existing building, is permit exempt where (applies to residential buildings/uses only): Contributory, The deck is to the rear of an existing building’.
