A modest extension to a 1910 weatherboard house.
The residents of this Launceston home wanted to feel more connected to their garden with its beautiful established oak and weeping willow trees. Seeking to create a new space that catered to both the hustle and bustle of family life, as well as entertaining friends, the project removed a poorly built rear kitchen lean-to and external laundry, to insert a new kitchen, dining space, bedroom and bathroom into the rear garden.

The stepped plan reflects and embraces the site's slope to create what feels like a sunken dining seat where, when seated, you are at eye level with the garden. The simple external palette of timber weatherboard and brick grounds the building in the garden, while botanic green and dusty pink interiors reflect the colourful and creative lives of the owners.
Home among the trees.
