Alterations & AdditionsStatus:DocumentationPhotography:NA
Alterations to an existing period home on the steep slopes of West Launceston.
The existing house was introverted—a tangled layout of rooms lacking cohesion and flow. The new plan introduces simple, strategic improvements that completely transform how the home functions:
A new corridor is opened through the centre of the plan, clearly seperating quiet spaces at the front from social spaces at the back. This gesture also creates a sense of reveal as the home unfolds into the new extension.
Replacing a substandard lean-to, the new extension is modest in scale, but large in impact. Opening to the north to provide a bright, light-filled generous space for kitchen, living, and dining areas.
All new living areas connect directly to the landscape. The kitchen via a servery, the dining and living both via large sliding doors to external decks and garden.
