This architecturally designed extension to a Victorian red-brick heritage cottage is a thoughtful and innovative response to a sloping, narrow site with multiple design constraints. The build seamlessly integrates old and new, offering a refined example of how heritage home renovations can embrace modern living.
A key feature of this project is the intimate indoor-outdoor connection, carefully crafted to maximise light and privacy. The staggered rear façade not only adds architectural interest, but also creates clever screening from neighbouring properties—enhancing both comfort and livability.
The transition between the original heritage clinker red-brick and the new modern slate wall along the walkway, is one of the home’s most distinctive design moments, as it captures a beautiful quiet moment before opening out to a light-filled, decked outdoor area – for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the sun.
This custom home extension is a testament to site-specific design, delivering both function and beauty while honouring the character of the existing home.
