Merri-bek City
Project 2
This Californian Bungalow style house had a dark and damp internal courtyard and an under-utilised upper storey rumpus room with wet bar, problems which were solved with clever design by Essendon based architects David and Anne Crampton of crampton d + a architecture + design. The internal courtyard was enveloped to enlarge the existing living room, a new fireplace on bluestone hearth, new north-east facing windows to emit winter sun and a newly polished hardwood dowel floor to ceiling screen were installed to provide interest and joy for the owners.
The first-floor rumpus room with views to an adjacent park was repurposed as a spacious master bedroom/parents retreat with a walk-in robe and the wet bar became a new sophisticated and efficient ensuite.
