Swanbourne Residence banner

The Swanbourne Residence is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom family home with a large yard a double carport and multiple living spaces, shoe-horned into a 400m² lot, and incorporating the restoration of an original 1900s workers cottage. Designed for a growing family, the house provides flexible open living with great connection through to a large lawn, while utilising different heights and spaces to form informal divisions which allow different family activities to occur simultaneously throughout the home.

The addition was intended to blend with the existing 1900s house, presenting as an integral part of the whole structure instead of looking like a new box on the back of an old building. From the street the addition is barely visible. This has been a very successful project. The owners have achieved a highly functional house with plenty of amenity, and a large yard. It has proven to be an excellent value addition.
