The addition and renovation of this weatherboard bungalow created connections to the garden from new living areas that face east and north benefiting from abundant natural light.
The kitchen becomes the heart of the home, designed for day to day family use but also as a display and entertaining space for the chef-owner.
A built-in sofa and room divider inspired by Donald Judd create a separation from the kitchen while providing a family-sized place to relax.

MRTN Architects is a design focussed architecture and interior design studio founded by Antony Martin and located in Melbourne. We have a reputation for our unique style and the recognisable homes that we create specifically for the families and individuals that live in them.
Award-winning city, country and coastal homes that are sustainable and contemporary. Experienced in designing to local council requirements, including BAL and bushfire prone areas, we are also recognised for our sensitive response to projects situated within a heritage overlay.
Our projects, regardless of scale or type, have in common a considered design approach that results in buildings that use materials wisely and are correctly oriented, sized and proportioned.
Our approach to design is not a prescriptive one, we enjoy getting to know our clients and working with them to arrive at an outcome together. This process should satisfy what is required of the brief and the desires for the project but also create something unexpected and wonderful.
Creating enduring spaces and forming enduring relationships.
