The March House project is the rework and extension to a 1910’s Federation style house located on one of Orange’s best streets. The clients’ brief was to create a light, contemporary, home for their growing young family. A simple new form has been added at the rear that seeks to provide an intimate connection with the backyard. The new light filled addition includes a new kitchen, dining and living space that over looks the modest rear yard as well as a internal courtyard that visually links the existing residence to the new form. The existing residence has been made contemporary through new joinery, updated fittings and fixtures, and a considered furniture suite throughout.
