The current owners purchased this large Edwardian home and found that the existing footprint was large enough, it just needed to be better utilised, updated and customised to the needs of this close family of six.

We framed the brief around consolidation and connection. We set about developing a client specific interior program of separation and connectedness to inform specific activity in defined precincts throughout the home. The kitchen was chosen as the heart of the home and an area for all to congregate, and from this focal point visual access to key areas was considered to create a measured balance of privacy and engagement.

Through modest penetrations in the envelope, we worked to scoop out areas and insert new volumes into the space. Tackled as if the new had been inserted into the existing and implying that they could just as easily be slid out again.
