Article source: Andrew Maynard Architects An extension to an existing 3 bedroom house in Fitzroy North to provide new living and kitchen space for a growing young family. Many of the design decisions were generated by the tight budget. The form is a simple box- the strongest form an architect can achieve at a bargain basement price.  Image Courtesy © Peter Bennetts

The tree supergraphic creates playful and ever-changing shadows across the interior spaces and is composed of images taken in the local park. Despite these challenges a double story, non-domestic scale space was achieved with a basic palette of materials.

The household to the west has a lush cultivated garden which is very important to the resident. A stencil of vegetation was created in-house and applied by the AMA team in a covet operation to give the neighbour an additional layer of garden.
