Modern Lilyfield House designed by Nobbs Radford Architects. This refined rebuild involved the wholesale overhaul of a 19th-century weatherboard house, located close to the centre of Sydney.

Originally a worker’s cottage, the Lilyfield House was bought by a family that needed to maximise the available space without settling for an ersatz addition that simply mimicked the original architecture. The new space practically doubles the cottage’s floor area, creating a lofty open plan living space adjoining a new kitchen and dining room, while that steep roof contains a cosy children’s loft space tucked in the eaves. There’s also space for a utility space and bathroom area, plus a little ‘study nook’ overlooking the garden.
