Pedder Street House | Bence Mulcahy
This 1920s cottage renovation and extension better connects the interior with the northfacing rear garden for a couple and their young child.
The well-loved cottage with double-fronted facade of white stucco and asymmetrical gables has an informal and endearing character.
The brief, delivered in a new extension which continues the cottage’s hipped roof, includes master-bedroom, ensuite, kitchen, dining, living, powder-room and laundry.
Plan and section are tightly worked to yield a playful arrangement of internal spaces of varying floor and ceiling levels, aligned with terraced courtyard and garden, and a discrete second storey master-bedroom and ensuite.
Demolition of the rear of the cottage connects the original interior to the garden and maximises daylight.
The extension, on the north-eastern quadrant of the site, opens to the luscious garden and courtyard. The interior softy shaded by an overhead pergola and external trellised green wall.
