The brief for this project was to renovate an existing cottage, maintaining its original character whilst introducing a modern rear addition facing the backyard. A modern carport structure on the side leads the way to an open courtyard behind, which acts as the clear change between the original house and the modern barn behind. Open exposed raked ceiling at the back connects the house to the yard in junction with a slatted pergola and plunge pool.The brief for this project was to renovate an existing cottage, maintaining its original character whilst introducing a modern rear addition facing the backyard.
