Our practice often undertakes infill projects of varying scales within established suburbs and with each project, we seek to challenge the business-as-usual approach. This project provided the opportunity to address the battleaxe block subdivision which too often sees the replacement of an ex-backyard with structures that cover the majority of the site and leave little room for gardens, a poorly defined entry sequence neglecting the home presence in the neighborhood, and a laneway lost to car parking and solid fencing.
