A Modern Extension with a Modular Courtyard

A Modern Extension with a Modular Courtyard
by CHRISTOPHER MEGOWAN DESIGN,
Melbourne, Australia

Located in Melbourne, Australia, the Convertible Courtyards House was conceived to perfectly adapt to the area’s notoriously changeable weather. The house is part of a series of heritage protected cottages, rife with unrealized potential that Christopher Megowan Design was tasked with unveiling. The project saw the addition of a kitchen, living area, dining area, bathroom, master bedroom and more.

To ensure that the newly added living space received enough natural light, the architects also created a central courtyard between the modern extension and the original structure. This central courtyard has a retractable roof that entirely covers the space and allows for the regulation of sun and rain, providing a protected connection to the exterior.

To further blur the boundaries, large double doors were placed on either side of the living room. To complete the perfect picture, the house has a whole host of eco-friendly amenities, including solar panels, sustainable and locally sourced timber and intelligent rainwater collection.
