Once a humble federation timber cottage, has now been transformed into an architectural design extension that boasts ample living space, amenities and natural light.

Responding to the brief of a growing family, Finna Studio has designed a spacious family home, overcoming the challenge of a typical block size found in Sydney’s Inner Western suburb of Rozelle.

By maximising the amount of fenestration on the north-westerly side of the block, the home is able to harness the natural light at the most optimum time of day to light up spaces that are mostly used day to day. The southeastern side of the block is reserved to wet areas and transitional spaces, however not forgotten, with the instalment of skylights to light these spaces naturally.

Paperbark projects have worked to build in hard-wearing, durable materials that have been used throughout to batter the many bumps it’ll endure through the years.
