This colour-filled extension to a weatherboard bungalow in inner city Melbourne focuses on small & sustainable living. Spaces are articulated with different textures, aspect and lighting including a number of discrete outdoor spaces including a private rooftop deck. Recycled and reused materials are celebrated.

The core idea for this project was that a small house, if well designed & functional, is a good house. Without increasing the footprint, it creates a new configuration of living areas in a more practical and functional space. This enables the garden areas to be maximised & an extra garden & outdoor area was added at roof level.

Energy efficiency & sustainability were key principles, as were reusing & recycling old materials which has the added benefit of adding richness & texture.
