Alterations & additions to existing cottage

The aim was to build an inner city sanctum transforming an existing weatherboard worker’s cottage into a twenty first century home in a conservation area. Through extensive client briefing, sketch design, authority planning reviews and negotiation; a contemporary inner city oasis was created with adaptable living configurations providing a spacious and airy 4 bedroom family home.

Environmental initiatives included: use of recycled flooring internally, rainwater tanks, solar hot water heating, Low E glazing, on site detention and absorption.
