Nestled in the southeastern suburb of Kingsford, a sturdy Californian bungalow, The Courtyard House, has been given a new lease of life whilst retaining the cherished character of the original home. The design intentionally sought to preserve and build on the existing layers of the home. The central courtyard is carefully placed to form the connection between the old and the new and breathes sunlight and air into the centre of the home. With a focus on re-use the addition retained the original cottage, the new architectural form and identity to the rear of the house is created with a focus on recycled and sustainable materials. Demolished bricks from the original home were re used in the new paved areas and new walls to enhance the connection. Credits Landscape Architect : True Form Landscape.

“We were having a challenge making the design for our renovation work- Maryanne came along and listened to our predicament and put forward several different options to meet our quite specific needs. What we ended up with was something we never would have come up with ourselves, it is such a clever use of our existing space. Maryanne took the time to listen to our needs, and was patient with us as we tossed up the different options in what was a very tight timeline. I would highly recommend working with Maryanne, the end solution she proposed is something we are extremely happy with. She was very flexible and accommodating with the specific requests we had for our layout and was never phased by the challenges we continued to put in front of her”
