On a quiet suburban street in beachside Maroubra, a 1970s house is converted into a playhouse for a family with three kids and three dogs. From its original bones, the house takes on a language of robustness and overscaled proportions. Its main gesture is a cube housing a double height living space. Penetrating this main volume is a L-shape of first floor bedrooms and bathrooms. The house is designed to celebrate the cacophony of family life, linking children’s study to kitchen across the double height living space, and all embracing the recreation space of courtyard and pool.
