Courtyard Cottage
Courtyard Cottage is a complete renewal of a Victorian worker's cottage for contemporary living.
We carved a courtyard and first-floor deck out of the centre of the cottage to bring plenty of north light into the living area and main bedroom above. The old dark south-facing living room, kitchen, and garden are no more.
The tiled courtyard and tiled roof deck are reminiscent of our client's Indian heritage. The colour palette combines neutrals with a splash of vibrant colour. High gloss laminates with contrasting edging were an economical way to elevate the interiors and elliptical wall basins are the feature of the bathrooms.

alsoCAN
To broaden our design skills alsoCAN is a multi-disciplined studio. We keep learning so we can put more design into practice. So far, Architecture, can; Urban Design, can; Web Design, also can.
Our architectural practice draws on over 25 years of experience in individually designed houses & larger-scale residential, institutional & commercial projects in Melbourne, Singapore & Brisbane.
alsoCAN's architectural designs have been imagined, designed & drawn in 3 dimensions since the beginnings of BIM computer modelling in the 1990s. There is no disconnect between the spatial volumes of the design & the plans, elevations, and sections all in the one 3-D model. For many other architects, this is a new way of thinking.
