Ovens Street
43 Ovens Street is a 137m2 weatherboard cottage in Yarraville.
The existing bones of the house will remain the same with subtle modern/ minimalist additions to the layout of the back half of the house.
In keeping with the heritage features, a modern twist can offer the home a refresh.
With an airy feel from the open plan softening elements are required to balance and ground the spaces.
One of the defining features of a weatherboard cottage is its connection to the outdoors, typically through the use of porches, verandas, or other covered outdoor spaces.
By blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, a weatherboard cottage can create a seamless transition between the two.
