An imaginative redesign by award-winning architects Dunn & Hillam pays homage to the original fabric of this 1880s weatherboard home while creating a light-filled family haven that celebrates nature and the outdoors. A creative pavilion-style extension links the old with the new and creates a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor living space with lofty pitched ceilings enhancing the sense of space and huge windows designed to capture northerly sunshine. Spread over one level, the three-bedroom home features a separate master wing and an internal courtyard with century old frangipani trees forming a natural shade canopy in summer while a corridor of green vistas captures borrowed treescape views. Sympathetic materials deliver a robust design crafted to age beautifully while preserving the original character of the double-fronted cottage. It's just around the corner from Camperdown Memorial Park and 250m to King Street's dining scene, cinemas, bookshops and vintage design stores.
