The project
Alexandra Buchanan Architecture designed the architecture and interiors of Oberon, a 150 m2 renovation and addition to a Victorian cottage in Hawthorn East, Melbourne, completed in 2024.
Decades of improvised lean-to extensions had left the interior dark and cut off from the garden. Working within strict heritage controls, the project replaces them with a gabled addition with a large timber-framed window, opening the kitchen and living spaces to a paved garden, with olive-green joinery and pale timber throughout.
The addition lit at dusk.
