The project
FMD Architects designed Picket House, built by Adam Construction, linking an existing heritage house with a new addition that respects its streetscape and surroundings.
The picket fence becomes the guiding symbol: vertical white cladding and timber screens wrap the new gabled form, with subtle material transitions between old and new. Inside, dark joinery, a timber kitchen and terrazzo bathrooms open to a deck and garden.
