Green Street House

Northcote, Melbourne

An addition that mirrors and honors the existing home’s gentle charm, the design motif used throughout was borrowed from the curlicues on the old gate.

The addition turns what was the car parking space into a new bedroom, added a garden retreat and rearranged interior spaces to be more efficient so garden and light were brought into the house.

The use of ply and botanical wallpapers enhanced the garden cottage appeal and settles the house into its inner urban environment.
