The project
Eckersley Architects designed a two-storey extension to this Victorian terrace in Richmond, working within the area's heritage overlays. The original brick was reused in the new extension, drawing on the heritage front.
The design brings in more daylight and space and strengthens the connection to the outdoors through steel-framed glazing and a small planted courtyard. The project was completed in 2021.
