Mitcham on Quarry from the street: a weatherboard home with a deep verandah among established gum trees

Extension & renovation · Mitcham

Mitcham on Quarry

A busy family home among the gum trees.

An extension and renovation of a 25-year-old home, with a touch of Hamptons style and an elevated extension designed to follow the natural lay of the land, bringing the calm of the adjoining reserve inside.

The kids were growing in size and number, and the brief was to keep them all close for as long as possible. Multiple living areas, herringbone floors and generous 2-pak joinery give everyone room, while the vast deck gives an elevated spot to keep an eye on the cricket and footy in the yard.
