Innovative studio extension to a heritage worker's cottage in South Melbourne, featuring a rooftop garden and designed to accommodate a growing family.
Located on a small site in South Melbourne and covered by a heritage overlay, this project pushes the Rescode boundaries. This project began as an extension to a worker's cottage frontage (Victorian red brick) in 2001.
After 11 years the owners returned with 2 grown-up kids with no space to move. We designed a small studio/office on the rear of the property and relocated the garden up onto the roof.
