The starting condition of the existing building had a lot of potential, like the inner courtyard sheltered from the busy street, which could enjoy its own intimacy. From this starting point the idea was to design a kitchen that was strongly connected with the courtyard
Expansion of an existing building in Melbourne. Private courtyard sheltered from the street
The project by the Australian studio mgao was carried out on a house that had undergone several poorly thought out expansions over the years. The previous additions were demolished to make room for a more functional one
The addition in this way seems very spacious, also thanks to the internal window which once again reinforces the idea of space, creating the impression of sitting inside the courtyard instead of being locked in a room
