The alterations and additions explore new ways to engage the street and garden while fostering family togetherness. The client’s love for their historic small footprint cottage and garden on 405m2, guided the decision to make small insertion / big impact moves.

The brief called for a robust expression and built-to-last attitude that would support the family as they grow together. The client’s vision was for flexibility; a place for work and play as well as gathering and relaxing. Living spaces that would engage all family members and connect better to the back yard were key to achieving family-friendly, indoor/outdoor space relationships.
