This project was for a small terrace house in Sydney. The terrace house, originally built as temporary worker’s housing almost 100 hundred years ago, is heritage listed and was badly water damaged. The footprint of the site is 30sqm with a two-storey height limit. The previous occupants had built the ground floor out the rear boundary restricting access to natural daylight and ventilation.
A small amount of work was undertaken on an extremely limited budget to rectify the water damage and amenity of the property. This involved removing the downstairs bathroom to create a small court that brings light and fresh air into the ground floor of the terrace. New bamboo flooring was laid, a new kitchen installed and a new bathroom put in upstairs.
