An extension and full renovation to a 1980’s cottage. This project required careful consideration of interior and exterior spaces due to a small section, tight planning restrictions, and a desire to make the existing home more suitable for an expanding family. The resulting design has created a warm, welcoming, family home, with extremely functional, well-thought-out spaces, along with plenty of storage and places for the family to enjoy – both together and as break-out zones. The dining nook is a particular favourite of the owners, so too is the laundry chute which takes dirty laundry from the family bathroom directly to the laundry below. Photo Credit - David Straight

“We engaged Julia from Elbow Architects to design a concept for our new family home. We had purchased our dream piece of land several years earlier and so the project was very close to our hearts. As the owner's of an architectural building company we had very high expectations and knew exactly what we were looking for in an architect. Julia did not disappoint. Elbow truly listened to our brief and took the time to get to know our family and how we lived. What eventuated was a concept that we loved and that perfectly complimented our family hustle. Elbow were punctual and delivered on deadlines- they are a pleasure to work with. We look forward to collaborating again in the future and would highly recommend Julia and Elbow Architects.
