The brief - to update a much-loved home with a modern open plan interior and a new carport but please retain the classic charm.

The result – The original cottage is transformed into a contemporary open plan home, which is seamlessly connected to the garden via new timber decks off both the main bedroom and living area. Breeze block walls emphasise the feeling of outdoor rooms and provide privacy, sunlight and Modernist magic.

A new carport containing an extra bathroom and secure storage space doubles as a garden pavilion for entertaining and undercover play.
