A detached secondary dwelling that replaces the existing single garage with rear lane access in the Sydney suburb of Petersham. It features ground floor living and dining with a mezzanine bedroom and ensuite. 

​

It has been sensitively designed to address the neighbouring heritage conservation area whilst providing a comfortable living arrangement on its modest footprint. The roof form and upper level window locations limit overshadowing and overlooking of the adjacent main dwelling and neighbouring properties to the south.

​

It provides housing diversity in a dense inner city suburb and allows intergenerational living without detracting from the original charm and built form of the area. The chosen rear facing brickwork is a nod to the existing character of the street whilst the steel and glass window detailing provides a hint of the contemporary material palette used internally.
