A Series of Courtyards Turn This Dark Victorian Into a Lush Oasis

The original single-storey Victorian period terrace home sits in a commanding position on a rise amongst a proud group of similar dwellings with a poorly resolved 1980s style addition", explains the architect,Kirsten Johnstone Architecture. "The home is located in a Heritage Overlay with a heritage-listed palm tree located in the deep front setback." Neighbouring apartment buildings overlook the home, so any extension would need to provide privacy, too.

The solution is three courtyards, each with a distinct personality, which bring the natural world into the home. The central courtyard separates the original home from the new extension, meaning the existing bedroom can still enjoy natural light. A natural billabong creates a relaxed water feature with the trickling of water helping to drown out the sirens, construction noise and general hum of city living.

To the north side of the home, this courtyard helps to bring natural light and breezes into the home. Sliding glass doors mean the living area can open onto a small decked area to really blur the lines between inside and out. "This fills the very centre of the home with lush greenery", explains Kirsten.
