Based in Thirroul in the Northern Illawarra of NSW, this quaint cottage has undergone a number of updates to rectify previous poorly constructed additions, rationalise planning and provide an arrangement better suited to our clients’ lifestyle.
The design plays with volume to create a sense of space, while operability is emphasised to enhance connection to the outdoors
In broad planning terms, the ground floor scope sees the improved planning yield a separate living space, more functional kitchen and dining taking advantage of the property’s expansive views. The lower ground benefits from a new rumpus and guest suite while improving access to service areas.
Materials are a robust and un complicated mix of timber, concrete and terracotta offset against simple contrasting painted surfaces.
