Residence | Kensington 3
status: complete
The third of a collection of houses in the one street in Kensington,
Melbourne, this small house with South facing yard, required
renovation and extension to increase solar gain and functionality
of the existing house.
The project involved opening the rear of the house up to the sky,
by splitting the existing gable roof and inserting a roof deck
surrounded by windows.
A new courtyard was carved out of the center of the house and new
lounge, study, dining and kitchen designed to feed off it.
This new configuration increased solar gain, use of space and cross
ventilation, making it a great place to live.
