A contemporary renewal of a Victorian worker's cottage featuring a central courtyard and first-floor deck, designed to enhance natural light and reflect the client's Indian heritage through vibrant colors and innovative interior elements.
Courtyard Cottage is a complete renewal of a Victorian worker's cottage for contemporary living.
We carved a courtyard and first-floor deck out of the centre of the cottage to bring plenty of north light into the living area and main bedroom above. The old dark south-facing living room, kitchen, and garden are no more.
The tiled courtyard and tiled roof deck are reminiscent of our client's Indian heritage. The colour palette combines neutrals with a splash of vibrant colour. High gloss laminates with contrasting edging were an economical way to elevate the interiors and elliptical wall basins are the feature of the bathrooms.
