This pristine new extension to a sweet little Victorian cottage epitomises the 2017 version of most-desirable modern living space. 

The compact site accommodates a generous living/meals area that includes a low-profile all-white kitchen – aided by a hidden pantry – and transitions to the covered barbecue deck. 

Ceilings are 3.5 metres high and a full-height louvre window aids cross-ventilation, natural light and individual style.

A counter-weighted tilting glass wall that opens the living room to its adjoining terrace makes a brilliant modern statement at this architect’s-own inner-city haven.

Twelve years after Kerstin Thompson reworked this mistreated Victorian terrace and extended atop its garages, the property’s old design and adaptable floor plan still sing – from the cellar all the way to its turret balcony.
