On a wide, tree-lined street in Melbourne's Fitzroy, Mooey Carter and her husband, Simon Harris, found their charming cottage in 2019. However, it didn’t echo the spacious, sun-dappled ease of its leafy locale. Despite its narrow footprint, the home was already built to both boundaries, so the couple could see what was possible and contacted architect Imogen Pullar to create a plan. “As well as catering to the functional needs of the family, we wanted to make sure the house was comfortable, healthy and energy efficient,” says Imogen, who incorporated many eco-focused elements into the project. The living, dining and kitchen area now allows for breezy entertaining while offering a seamless flow out to the garden, with windows capturing views of greenery, trees and sky. “We wanted to create a little urban oasis here, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.” |
