Coronet

by Jos Tan Architects

Coronet has been designed to accommodate a new kitchen area for the owner who is a keen cook and a dining area which would entertain large gatherings.

Briefed by the owner who is a keen cook, this house in Melbourne was designed by Jos Tan Architects as new entertaining space which would provide plenty of open space for entertaining and chef like kitchen qualities to accommodate for any cooking needs.
This brick home is one of a pair, which were built side by side c.1930.

The owner was looking for a new bathroom and laundry, a kitchen and dining which opened up into the backyard and plenty of open spaces.

Architects at Jos Tan first considered demolishing the rear building to make way for a new addition. However, it became apparent that the available budget would fall short of this plant. Instead, the decision was made to retain as much of the existing brick structure as possible and pop out a small extension to the side.
