Wray Avenue Residence is a 40sqm metre alteration and additions to an existing cottage located in the heart of Fremantle. A boundary width of 6.5m, the addition was crafted at the rear on the southern side of the existing cottage. The exterior form is elevated above the existing roof line, scooping northern light into the large volume, also providing new reflected light to existing spaces. The addition commences from the existing lounge space through a deep plywood tunnel concealing a compact bathroom, hidden beyond. Passing through the tunnel, one arrives at a place to cook, eat and live on a series of built-in furniture pieces that wrap up around the space and up the wall, defining smaller spaces within the main volume. A generous ceiling height of 4.6m rakes down towards to rear garden framing views of the garden beyond. This compact project encompasses a new, bathroom, pantry, living dining and kitchen and storage in a neat and delightful space.
