Before - Original turn of the century cottage consumed by an ugly fence
Before - Original north facing lean-to addition
Before - Original cottage with a standard 1950’s addition to the rear
Front cottage pared back and restored
A glowing punctuated box opens to the north
Modern insertion contrasts with the old beyond
Contemporary materials and form define the new
Kitchen positioned at the heart of the home
Modern addition interfacing with the original via a sculptural insertion
A zen cubby for the kids reflecting the architecture of the addition
The seam between old and new is delineated and purposeful. The memories of the old are retained and the new proudly says “I am of the 21st century”.
