About the winning project

This project is lovingly described by the architect as The Little House That Could. Its location is flanked by beautiful old worker’s cottages and terraces and, through a thin veil of trees and shrubs, the busy sterile industrial precinct. The existing cottage sits centre-stage, expertly restored and already settled in. The new addition is visible only over the top of the existing façade, respectfully set back and designed to come alive at night, casting warmth outward from the home. The second expression is that of being open, light, and spacious – these qualities are rare to find in a Victorian cottage and are revealed in the generous and impressively engineered rear extension.
