The brief for this project was to renovated an existing cottage, providing indoor-outdoor links towards the yard whilst creating a more natural flow between all internal spaces, both existing and proposed. Re-arranging internal layouts and bringing natural light opened up the perception of space, whilst a new elevated deck at the rear, alongside the plunge pool linked the house to the yard.
A new master bedroom and plunge pool completed the renovations and gallery steps provides a natural transition between the house and its backyard.
