The project
Eckersley Architects replaced a lean-to that cut this Victorian weatherboard off from its generous backyard with a 155 square metre open living space for a growing family. Carefully placed skylights light the custom joinery and fill the rooms with daylight.
Concrete, natural stone and timber were chosen for durability and low maintenance. The extension is built to take a second storey later, with space in the plan for a future stair. It was completed in 2020.
