This renovation transforms a Victorian cottage into a warm family home, designed by Sam Crawford Architects. The removal of unsympathetic additions paves the way for a spacious double-height extension that surrounds a lush courtyard oasis.

The light-filled living, kitchen, and dining area features a striking freestanding brick fireplace, while a sleek steel-framed stair ascends through floating concrete window hoods to new bedrooms and informal living spaces above. Careful detailing enhances the connection between indoors and outdoors.

Timeless materials such as brass, Bowral bricks, and Australian hardwoods harmonise with the original structure while introducing a modern aesthetic. This project showcases the collaborative effort and craftsmanship of everyone involved.
