Extending a home in a single Victorian cottage row under Heritage overlay in Melbourne presents a challenging architectural attempt.
To explore the potential of this tiny land of 88m2 of 4.6m width and 19.1m length without compromising the front character of the cottage, the concept design was approached as follow:
Slanting the wall in the master bedroom on the ground floor level allowed more space inside without jeopardizing the sunlight to get to the laneway level.
Nestling the new attic behind the front pitched roof made the expansion completely invisible from the front.
Filtering sunlight through polycarbonate twin walls made the living areas more livable.
