The project
Elaine Richardson Architect reworked a typical long, narrow terrace house in Sydney's inner west, whose rear faced north and caught direct sun. The owners wanted clean lines, a Scandinavian touch, colour, sunlight and a strong connection to the outdoors.
The rear of the house was replaced with a new ground-floor living, dining and kitchen pod and a new upper floor holding the main bedroom and ensuite. Two existing bedrooms remain downstairs alongside a generous main bathroom, one of the owners' first requests. It was completed in 2018.

The galley kitchen with timber joinery.
The main bathroom with a freestanding bath.
The ensuite with a timber vanity.
