With plans to grow their family, Deddy needed to grow too. On a small old industrial worker’s block, the question was about just how they would do that.
Deddy’s owners were edgy, and the house needed to portray that. This led to a play on materiality and contrast that fit Deddy to a tee.
Angular forms (against the square plan original dwelling) allowed the new living area to hug the fence line and open up to the north, while dark colorbond sheeting stationed beside the original clinker brick further distinguished the old from the new. Small courtyards help to further portray some separation.
The makeover literally breathed life into Deddy, positioning it to better take in light, air, passive heating and cooling, and lengthen its value to its owners who loved their little house, but feared they would outgrow it.
