Narrabundah House | Open Principle Architects

OPA were approach to help rejuvenate an aging red brick cottage. The client purchased the house on the merits of its small scale cottage like feel, from physical scale, assumed heritage value, materiality and feel.
The brief was to provide a new small living and dining extension as well as full interior architecture refit. The brief was established around an architecture which responds to the historical changes the house as a typology. An internal reorganisation sees the services areas such as bathrooms and laundry shuffle and morph to create the addition of a ensuite and a legible planning logic.
The creation of additional storage though joinery allows the rooms to be left to breathe without the need for clumsy storage items cluttering the space. A subtle re–alignment of the front door is all that may be noted as this project sought to maintain the historical and worthy original building frontage.
