“A quiet gabled addition that brings filtered light, framed views and a calm contemporary layer to a restored brick cottage.”

A quiet gabled addition settles above the restored brick cottage, allowing the original house to remain the anchor while introducing a calm contemporary layer. The new upper level sits comfortably within the existing roofscape, with a discreet terrace offering outlook without disturbing the character of the street.

Light is central to the design, drawing soft, filtered daylight into living spaces and bedrooms and creating framed views throughout the home. Restored heritage elements strengthen the street presence, while the new works use a muted, durable palette that sits comfortably alongside the original fabric.

Anchored by mature and newly introduced canopy planting, the project reinforces the leafy identity of Edgerton Street and offers a restrained, context‑driven evolution of the family home.
