A renovation that transformed a cramped 1950s cottage into a generous family home. A simple single room addition to the front of the house, and minor renovations to the interior of the existing, added generous living spaces and a new master bedroom with ensuite. The internal changes made way for a spare bedroom. A wrap around verandah is positioned facing the street, taking advantage of views towards the hills. As the existing floor level sits high above natural ground level, the lower undercroft area is made use of as a studio and storage space.
