Cardigan Street

in progress.......

A two bedroom 1911 Queen Anne period brick cottage has been altered to accommodate a family of 6. The existing front bedroom was retained and the second bedroom converted into a bathroom, laundry and stair to two children's bedrooms over.

A 2.2m wide space to the north of the house allows winter sun to penetrate each room. A deck wrapping the north-west corner is shaded by a large West Australian Pepper tree and cantilevered pergola. New openings, distinguished by clear finished timber frames, draw the garden into the living spaces.
