This Randwick project adds a contemporary pavilion-style addition to the rear of an older weatherboard cottage.
The new kitchen, living and dining spaces have been arranged to strengthen the connection between the original home and the garden beyond. Generous glazing brings natural light into the rear of the house, creating a brighter, more open setting for everyday family life.

At the rear, the pavilion opens directly to the garden, while a simple brick form gives the addition a sense of permanence and quiet solidity. The addition is deliberately restrained, allowing the original cottage to remain clearly legible while giving the home a contemporary new centre.
The result is a modest cottage transformed with a bright, practical and quietly elegant rear addition that feels connected to both the existing house and the landscape beyond.
