Behind a sequence of original Victorian facades, a familiar narrow hallway leads visitors toward the transformation. As one enters the new living zone, a dramatic change occurs — natural light pours into the double-height space, and a sense of generosity replaces the former cramped interior. The open-tread staircase becomes the sculptural centrepiece of the home, floating alongside a full-height glass wall that glows after dark. This gesture reinforces visual continuity between levels while allowing light and movement to pass through the plan.

The exterior rear elevation is punctuated by a playful green façade of fibre cement panels in various tones, arranged in a dynamic patchwork that reflects the project’s name and character. This cladding strategy, echoed internally, creates a unifying motif and adds vibrancy to the restrained material palette. Timber floors and white joinery anchor the interior spaces in warmth and practicality, while discreet glazing and operable louvres encourage natural cross-ventilation throughout.

The Green House is a clear break from mimicry — a confident insertion that respects its context through scale and proportion but is unafraid to express its own identity. Through light, material play, and deliberate spatial sequencing, the project transforms a once dark and disconnected dwelling into a joyful and cohesive home.
