NOEL STREET DEVELOPMENT
Cut. Carve. Reconsider.
The house sits firmly on the corner site. Double fronted, single-story Victorian. Its façade defined by the linear veranda denoting entrance. The side façade, flat and pragmatic, faces onto the one-way street. It’s a house with a past life. A house that remains within its existing footprint. Contained by the outline of past markings. These past markings provide parameters for reconsideration.
Eastham Street seeks to address how we build additions within inner suburban sites providing garden that benefits not only the resident but also the public realm of the street. The roof deck sits over the new garage, providing a private space with a public interface. The obligatory heritage setbacks define the constraints of the intervention. An addition that provides street presence, giving back rather than taking. A form that bookends the house but also folds with the house.
