This striking built form sits comfortably with the original home and respectfully in its context. The dynamic volume reaches up to the sky to maximise north sun and natural light whilst the warm, classic material palette complements the landscape and provides longevity with a robust and beautiful finish.

The Snug wastes no space and makes no compromise. The highly efficient floor plan has just 7% circulation space and provides ample amenity including three bedrooms, two bathrooms and spacious living areas within just 117m2.

Bedrooms are generously sized and multi-functional, adapting with the lifestyles of owners. Living areas feel spacious, are light-filled, and have strong connections to north-facing garden areas. 

The built-in window seat eliminates circulation area required around loose furniture, incorporates storage as secondary function, and reduces built form to further preserve garden area. Additionally, the car space is flexible, accommodating storage and doubling as undercover outdoor dining.

Passive solar design principles and sustainable materiality further contribute to a beautiful, comfortable, energy efficient home. Planned and detailed with rigour, this well considered, long lifespan building will provide for its owners well into the future.
