The Long Play House by Megan Edwards Architects. Villa and Bungalow renovations typically involve sorting out the rear ends of houses. This project reworks the front street facing side.
The monopitch roof and expressed rafters provide a fresh legible form, while accommodating the clients’ wish for upper floor bedroom quarters, as well as providing light and spatial interest to the previously downbeat entry.
Bringing visitors in through the side, allows light filled secondary living rooms. One a music room with LP and guitar collection, and the other a family and hangout room for the couple’s two boys.
The form of the roof is derived from the original pitch of the bungalow roof, so sits comfortably alongside the retained rear kitchen/ dining/ living rooms
