Marianne House is a residential extension that balances preservation and modern adaptation, integrating seamlessly with its coastal surroundings. Key design elements reflect the home’s origins while accommodating a growing family's needs. A courtyard connects old and new spaces, enhancing natural light and views. The project emphasizes sustainability through the use of natural materials, passive solar design, and reclaimed elements, ensuring environmental impact is minimized. The extension includes modern living areas and a master suite, embodying a flexible design approach that addresses future family requirements.
A central courtyard acts as a pivotal space, connecting the original and new wings, and inviting natural light and garden views into the entry of the home.
The extension is oriented towards a north-west facing garden, maximising sunlight and framing views of mature Melaleuca trees and coastal grasses.
Passive solar design, natural ventilation, and energy-efficient systems minimise environmental impact and operational costs.
The adaptive reuse of the original structure conserves resources and reduces waste, while the use of reclaimed materials and local native timber further enhances the project's environmental credentials.
