Article source: Breathe Architecture Breathe Architecture were initially engaged to build a larger house for a family of four, but after living overseas, they realised that they could live in a smaller footprint and the project evolved to the renovation of a heritage listed terrace house. Our clients loved the original character and stories that were attached to the house, so protecting that was important to them.  Image Courtesy © Tom Ross

A new, freestanding brick studio to the rear provided an additional guest room, painting studio, workshop and laundry. The clients love for modernism and warm, indirect lighting was important to them, informing our simple design intent – to build a free standing studio out of brick, a contemporary architectural reflection of the surrounding neighbourhood’s character of brick sheds and garages. Stack bond recycled bricks form the skin of the building, with the entire construction in brickwork (no plasterboard) to reduce materials and streamline construction.
