Kew Courtyard is a forever home for a creative couple designed by Drawing Room Architecture. The house supports their mutual love of entertaining, art, gardening and mid century architecture. The site was a previously subdivided one being only 7m wide yet over 45m long with north following the long side of the site. Photography by Daniel Fuge.

To create a two bedroom, one generous study, two bathroom home with a sunny kitchen & dining and a separate living room, planning was key. Living rooms where placed to get lots of natural light and garden views, meaning a central courtyard needed to be carved out. This courtyard would be the lungs, green and light lantern to the ground floor living areas. The study was located on the ground level also with street views. The two bedrooms are on the first floor were they have private leafy views over surrounding rooftops.
