Claire Scorpo Architects

Claire Scorpo Architects is a Melbourne practice based in Fitzroy. Their work on Lunchbox, St Kilda East House, proves how useful a small, considered space can be.

Not everyone has the budget or the room for an expansive addition, and bigger homes come with more maintenance and more environmental cost. This addition is just 11 square metres, yet it tackles the big ideas: connecting the house to its garden, capturing natural light, and reorienting the home around the kitchen and outdoor space. On a tight budget, plywood, stone and metal cladding and a new pergola do a lot with a little.
