Yarra Street House is a pavilion-style extension designed to fit perfectly with a family who loves cooking, outdoor living and entertaining in style.

This passive solar home was designed to maximise available light and space on an oddly shaped block in the inner suburban Melbourne.

An eco-friendly, 7 star energy rated addition to an inner-city terrace feels bright, breezy and, importantly, comfortable year-round.

The dramatic timber ceiling sails over new living spaces and outside, shading the home but retaining the best views.

Embracing the garden with a huge double-height space, 7 metre-wide door and patterned screen which fills the home with dappled shade.
