Coburg Freeboard House / WALA

The homeowners purchased this old weatherboard bungalow in a quiet neighborhood with the idea of completely renovating it as a family home to settle down with their young children. The extensive brief included partial restoration and repair to the front of the house and a new double-story extension to the rear. A generously sized site allowed for the creation of different zones within the main footprint of the house, punctuated by pockets of greenery in the form of courtyards to “bring the outdoors in”.
