Dream Home in Clifton Hill, Australia, designed by Studio mkn Eliza Blair Architecture. This brick and glass extension fits snugly onto the back of a double-fronted weatherboard worker’s cottage in Clifton Hill. Designed to capture light from the north, as well as views of an existing bottle brush tree to the south, the layout responds to both the site and the family’s desire for future flexibility. With laneway access at the rear, a double-storey garden studio nestles into the back of the site, providing a green backdrop to views from the calm spaces within. The brief was to re-model the existing (circa the 1890s) home to accommodate a master suite with ensuite and walk-in robe, plus 2 further kids' bedrooms, a central bathroom, and laundry.
