Cascade Terrace demonstrates the blending of historical and modern elements. The project’s focus was to structurally integrate the original Victorian terrace with a 1980s extension, enhancing spatial flow and functionality. Partridge made significant structural modifications, including large sliding glass windows beneath a steel awning and operable timber louvres on the upper-level façade for improved ventilation and light control. A key feature is the sculptural staircase, constructed from white painted steel, timber, and glass. This element serves as a visual centrepiece and enhances light distribution while providing access across three floors. Partridge’s engineering solutions included the use of double cantilever lintels to facilitate a corner window overlooking the pool, revitalising the connection between the living area and the garden. The strategic placement of openings throughout maximised natural light and views, transforming previously underutilised spaces.
