A modest 14sqm addition to the rear of a small 1950’s fibro beach house using the original structure, materiality, detailing and colour. The main room is extended and large glazed sliding doors allow views to the eucalyptus trees beyond. A new rear deck provides circulation between the yard, house and bathroom and creates a new folded edge to the rear garden. The addition updates the fibro without compromising the scale, character and relaxed lifestyle the original house offered.
