A Bold Link Between Time and Space
A thoughtful extension to a Victorian cottage in Haberfield, this project explores the intersection of heritage and modernity. A sculptural glass link draws light deep into the home, connecting past and present through form, materiality, and purpose. The result is a space that honours its history while embracing contemporary living.
From Heritage to Home:
A Story in Plan

The upper floor balances privacy and opens with a mezzanine retreat, ensuite and seamless connection to the outdoor terrace.
Design Journey: David Street, Haberfield
A bold addition unfolds behind the original Victorian cottage, setting the stage for a contemporary extension connected by a sculptural glass link.
A transparent link bridges the heritage facade and the new form, allowing light to put in while revealing the interplay of texture, volume and movement across both levels.
Inside, a sculptural staircase framed by vertical timber blades draws the eye upward, marking the shift from historical structure to contemporary volume.
The new rear extension opens into a generous light filled living space - a place for family connection, framed by warm finishes and grounded modernity.
Curved forms and layered textured soften the architectural lines, creating a space that balances openness with intimacy - designed for light, life and connection.
Upstairs the tone softens. A restful palette, curated art and natural light offer a calm retreat within the home's layered architectural story.
The rear opens wide to embrace light, landscape and living - where inside meets outside in a seamless extension of home.
