The heritage building is situated in a row of early 1900’s Victorian workers cottages. The contemporary, minimalist design harmoniously marries modern style with that of an existing period home by echoing the simplicity of the original workers cottage and retaining the original period features where possible. Natural light floods the dwelling allowing the form and restrained material palette to shine. The private, functional home includes a large entertaining area flowing into the newly created rear court garden, contributing to the striking yet simple and balanced built form.
