AI summary
An Avondale cottage has been masterfully transformed by architect Maria Hosking and builder James Hosking. The original 1960s bungalow now features a stunning, sympathetic extension designed for modern family living.
A key feature is a wide, glass-enclosed corridor connecting the home to a new bedroom wing, creating a sun-filled central courtyard. This design enhances indoor-outdoor flow and includes creative spaces like a fire pit and a versatile sleepout, resulting in a generous and practical home.
