This delightful workman's cottage in desirable inner city Melbourne had a great location but was just too small, so we helped the owners create a warm and livable space almost double the size of the original building.
Working within the confines of a narrow footprint, many of the original features were kept or re-purposed, a stylish new staircase was added along with two extra bedrooms, bathroom and storage upstairs.
With this second storey addition and some smart configuring of the downstairs living space, this house will now keep the owners and their family able to stay in the area for years to come
