Text description provided by architect.
Taking advantage of a larger than usual inner city site, the clients wanted a garden focussed dwelling with accommodation for a growing family.
The semi circular courtyard was introduced to help living spaces flow together, while providing some separation.
The garden will eventually dominate all views – creating an urban oasis.
What was salvageable of the existing house, was retained and refurbished, with new living spaces, master bedroom and study added as a separate structure- joined by a glazed bridge.
The simple geometric shapes reference early modern architecture of Melbourne, such as Roy Grounds.
