Holden St – Nest Architects
Adding a pop of colour and playfulness to Nest Architects’ Holden St cottage is a single and chandelier of Silhouette Pendants. The back of this little workers cottage in North Fitzroy was a dodgy 1980’s home-renovated nightmare, damp and cold and possum infested. Nest removed the back half of the house and replaced it with a small open living/dining area with a large steel door that opens the whole space to the sunny backyard. In the centre of the space is an internal pod housing the bathroom, powder room and pantry. The central ply clad pod separates a playroom from the main living and dining area, complimented by a contemporary arrangement of Silhouette Pendant Lights.
The galley style kitchen runs down one side and a corridor to access the bathroom and toilet runs down the other side. In summer the dark green foliage keeps this space nice a shady – but in winter the sun can warm up the bricks and reflect warmth into the house.
