The project
Eckersley Architects replaced a dark, damp lean-to at the back of this Victorian weatherboard opposite a leafy park in Abbotsford. The brief was to make the most of the small block and connect the house to its rear courtyard.
A double-height living space with full-height windows fills the 80 square metre addition with daylight. Its form bridges a two-storey house to the north and a single-storey house to the south, keeping overshadowing of the southern neighbour to a minimum. It was completed in 2021.
The kitchen island and timber stools.
