This remarkable addition makes the most of the existing built fabric, referencing angles and forms from the old and matching material selection for a cohesive whole. The awkwardly-planned laundry and kitchen from a previous renovation have been demolished to create a new open plan kitchen/dining/ living space running almost full length across the block, maximising access to northern light. The new double-brick addition with large, double-glazed sliding doors opening onto a new deck and pool, with a new high-pitched roof riffing off the existing gable extension and providing open, flexible spaces for the young family.
As a reference to the angled fireplaces in the old cottage, the new triangular window seat provides excellent cross-ventilation and works with the elec-fired underfloor hydronic heating system (in the new concrete slab) for year-round comfort.
A 90’s extension has been completely altered to bring it kicking and screaming into the 20’s.
