1865 Constable’s Cottage
This 1865 heritage listed cottage lacked a sunny living space with garden views.
The addition is a contemporary galvanised steel-clad cube, separated from the original building by recessed access doors. Floor to ceiling glazed doors slide into cavities to open the interior to the garden.
The original building remains largely unaltered, the exception being the removal of a verandah roof to make way for the addition.
The addition is unashamedly contemporary.
