Small, targeted changes that transform an Edwardian house in Northcote.

The project
Mitsuori Architects transformed this freestanding Edwardian house in Northcote, Melbourne, completed in 2019. The clients first asked whether their small wish list was enough for an architectural project, as the existing extension would not be demolished or enlarged.
The practice looked for small moves that could redefine the living spaces. A glazed roof creates a sunlit atrium dining room, pale timber joinery and shelving organise the plan, and a refreshed kitchen and bathroom bring calm, light finishes.
