Perrin Stevenson House
By Jennifer Binns Design
The Perrin Stevenson House project provided new lease of life for an existing fibro shack, a complete renovation that maintains the relaxed and intimate feel of the original shack but with a reconfigured layout to provide interconnected living spaces and greater connection to the extensive landscaped garden. An additional dwelling on the site provides self-contained accommodation for family and friends along with rental options for short term holiday accommodation and longer-term rental. The siting of the additional dwelling unit at the front of the property creates privacy for the main house from passing traffic and maintains privacy for the rear garden which is solely associated with the main house. Macrocarpa vertical board cladding on both the house and second dwelling unit provides a homogenous contemporary aesthetic and skillion rooflines continue the shack vernacular.
