Forrester

Forrester is a transformation of a post-war cottage perched amidst the sloping terrain of Bardon. Tasked with revitalizing this aging structure, we eagerly took on the challenge presented by a young couple with aspirations of crafting a contemporary family home to start and raise a family.

Retaining the original scale and position on the hill, the existing cottage serves as a nod to its post-war origins. The true metamorphosis unfolds at the rear, where a modern two-story addition seamlessly integrates, significantly expanding the living spaces and forging a strong connection with the outdoors.

At the heart of this redesign is a commitment to transformation. The infusion of natural light, incorporation of warm textures, and creation of expansive volumes collectively breathe new life into this character home. It’s a home that stands as a testament to its evolution—a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, poised to be a cherished abode for another 75 years.
