Contemporary rear extension and outdoor living spaces enhancing a cottage with stunning views, featuring a new master bedroom wing, study, and ensuite, all harmoniously connected to an inviting outdoor entertaining area.

The Brief for this project was to design a minor rear extension and outdoor living areas to an existing cottage. The proposal opened up the rear side to a large living space with windows facing the outstanding views to both the yard & bush at the rear, as well as distant ocean views through a large window seat towards the side. A new master bedroom wing sits behind, including a study and ensuite. 

Both master and living face a new outdoor entertaining area linked to the views. The proposal suggests a slightly modern volume, yet incorporating warm textures like natural timbers & recycled bricks' planters. Custom timber portals for the terrace provide rhythm to the rear façade.
