LITTLE PINKY HOUSE

Little Pinky House is a major alteration and extension – on a modest scale - of a 100 year old weatherboard cottage just outside the blast radius of Coode Island.

Our challenge was to convert and update a tired, traditional weatherboard family house into a 2-household “share house” for a mother and daughter who love vibrant colour, house plants, vintage art and furniture, and their 2 dogs.

Once joyless landlocked rooms have been liberated by a new courtyard garden in the heart of the house. New shared living, dining + kitchen spaces pivot around this "garden room" and enjoy bright, sunny outlook and lovely Jacaranda views all year round.

Every inch of space on this small site - indoors and out - is precious. The resulting house is compact but airy, filled with sun and colour, and exploits the best of a narrow site in the heart of industrial Melbourne.
