residence
44 is a reconfiguration and extension of a charming and peculiar Victorian house. The original building was an opportunistic infill in the garden of an adjacent home, sitting alone behind two terraced streets. The architect and home owner saw the potential to expand the modest building, creating a pocket home which keeps their growing family in the community they have called home for 15 years.
