Let The Light In

Small changes in key places are often the ticket to a successful renovation as was the case for this Footscray cottage. Whilst the footprint of the living room extension was small, hiding the structural beams in the roof space, lowering the kitchen window and changing out small doors for expansive glazed sliding doors has made this once pokey home feel spacious and airy. Lining the ceiling of the open plan space are 6 strategically aligned operable skylights which bathe the room in natural light.

Through the rear sliding doors, the living space opens onto the new spotted gum terrace with translucent roof sheeting making for wonderful indoor/outdoor living and the perfect spot to unwind and admire the professionally landscaped rear yard.

Externally a full re-paint of the house and new roof and gutters have lifted the street appeal to make it the best house on the block!
