The owners’ request to keep within the
original modest 119m 2 footprint for the
renovation of this late 1950s weatherboard
home meant designer Jason Higham of
Higham Architecture had to closely con-
sider the use of every metre of space.
“Typical of the time, the existing house
had good bones, but the room layout was
disjointed and there was little regard
for sun or flow to outdoor living,” says
Higham. “For example, the entry had been
confusing and the kitchen was positioned
on the dark side of the home.”
