The creative reinvention of this classic worker's cottage by Ahron Best Architects focuses on bringing in the light and forging a new identity for the freestanding classic while paying homage to the original build. Crafted to link the old with the new, the single-storey home features a large sculptural wall that defines the private and social spaces. The windows at the top of the hallway void create a natural airflow, drawing air upward and enhancing ventilation for a more sustainable, energy-efficient environment Northerly sunshine streams into the living space with a streamlined island kitchen serving as the heart of the home while a series of outdoor spaces and a fluid layout from front to back make for effortless entertaining. Designed with a focus on passive solar design, the home's pared-back palette of timber, stone and heated polished concrete create a soul-soothing oasis of calm while the landscaped gardens bring a sense of life and vitality into the home. Featured extensively in leading architectural and design journals, Cut and Morph House is not only beautiful but a joy to live in with plentiful outdoor space to relax, play or entertain in the sunshine.
