Clarke House / Austin Maynard Architects
Briefly

Clarke's renovation involved transforming a single-storey weatherboard cottage in Northcote, focusing on deliberative design to enhance functionality for a family of four. Drawing on their time in Japan, the owners sought a home that balances modern aesthetics with intimacy, requiring spaces for both personal retreats and social gatherings. The design merges indoor and outdoor areas while maintaining character through necessary restorations, resulting in a unique and functional layout that accommodates the family's evolving needs, including separate spaces for their teenage daughters.
The renovation of Clarke transforms a dark, ill-defined cottage into a bright, functional family home, blending modern design with intimate private spaces.
Inspired by their experiences in Japan, the owners aimed for a home that balances cozy retreats with open, flowing spaces ideal for entertainment.
