Larch House
A dated Victorian property was reimagined into a family home
with a contemporary rear extension. Inspired by the dual nationalities
of the couple (British and Australian) the space is designed to have
two distinct characters.

The new side and rear wrap-around extension are conceived as a
contemporary reading of an Australian veranda structure. A threshold

creates an uplifting open-plan kitchen and dining space.
