The single fronted terrace is a much loved but problematic Melbourne housing style. The design of this house was created to emphasise natural light and give a greater sense of space to a small, narrow footprint.
Housing a young family, this house has to work hard to accommodate all of the ‘stuff’ of every day life. Rather than relegate them to a dark corner, services spaces were hidden in plain sight all over the house, from the laundry under the stairs to the storage between the deep skylight voids.
