The Brave Design to Change Grant Pirrie House Becoming Elegant Home

It is a brave architect who takes on a renovation of a Robin Boyd awarded house. Virginia Kerridge Architects have done just that, successfully altering the already highly awarded design by Graham Jahn. 

The house needed to adapt to a changing family and, rather than starting afresh, Virginia Kerridge Architects have carefully worked with the existing fabric to create an entirely renewed dwelling. Demolishing select walls and rearranging a kitchen space, shading certain areas and providing new external spaces for the living rooms; the design is considered  and respectful of the existing house. 

This project demonstrates that an evolving family can renew and subtly transform their existing house to accommodate changing needs. Virginia Kerridge Architects are to be congratulated on their elegant and meticulous alterations.
