The brief
A single-storey Marrickville cottage with a tired rear lean-to and no room upward.
The response
The team removed the addition, reclaimed the garden, and built four bedrooms across a new first floor behind the original roofline. Chequerboard entry tiles give way to oak, a dark island anchors the open kitchen, and bifold doors fold the rear wall away entirely.
In a line
One storey became two. The gable stayed, and a new house grew quietly behind it.
