LAURA
Story
Laura is a personal project of thoughtful urban design and meticulous construction, which takes full advantage of it's small triangular block.
Laura's form is a combination of brickwork blades, timber soffits, and lightweight cladding. Brick pavers were also used to create a curved courtyard that connects inside with outside. This space facilitates a place for gathering and entertaining as well as perspective to the borrowed landscape of neighbours trees and sky, making the house and garden feel much more generous than its footprint.

A feature of Laura is its 4.5m high spotted gum ceiling. Joinery throughout, including an expansive couch and bench seating, is also spotted gum, adding to a rich and moody interior tone that's balanced beautifully by natural light streaming in from bronze powder-coated framed windows that look out to leafy surrounds. Cork flooring and plush green carpet complement mid-century aesthetics throughout the home, which exudes a surprisingly large sense of space despite its modest size.
