The Merri Creek House by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture is a renovation and extension project to an existing heritage weatherboard cottage in the suburb of North Fitzroy .
The project re-imagines the typical house with backyard typology and is designed around a series of landscaped courtyard gardens. Conceptually, the ‘backyard’ has been dissolved and dispersed throughout the plan, creating an arrangement of gardens that each offer and enable a variety of uses and functions throughout the day.
