Sited amongst the leafy suburb of Wattle Park, the MCCA House is a family home that redefines the colonial dwelling vernacular to deliver a house fit for a young family, put simply to “Make Colonial Cool Again”. A house previously constrained by a dysfunctional arrangement of private and public spaces, the MCCA House brings common public areas together and separates private areas to accommodate a more comfortable living arrangement for both parents and children.
