The owners of this c. 1910 timber cottage wanted to retain its character (warts and all) but enhance and create more space to accomodate their changing family needs.

Living spaces were opened up, rear walls removed to create a sense of flow to the outdoors.

Bi-fold doors and a servery window open up to the rear deck which allows for easy entertaining.

The ceiling in the living area was removed and a north facing skylight was added bringing light into the heart of the house.

The old shed was converted to a habitable space with a bedroom and ensuite.
