Lorikeet is a renovation project for a canal-front home on the Gold Coast, carefully designed to address the challenges of building in a flood-risk area. Special consideration is given to the percentage of footprint added to the existing structure to comply with flood regulations. The client wishes to add a module comprising three extra bedrooms, including a master suite.

An important aspect of the renovation is the addition of a large deck with alfresco facilities to enhance outdoor living. The design focuses on seamlessly integrating the new module and deck with the existing home while adhering to flood risk requirements.
