Gardener’s Rest is a sensitive renovation of an Arts and Crafts home that carefully preserves views to the harbour while improving the internal layout. A new vertical lightwell and stair connect spaces across three levels, bringing light and clarity into the centre of the house. From the moment of arrival through the garden path, the project creates a calm and thoughtful sequence of spaces. Minimal additions have been made to the original footprint, yet the home feels warm, generous, and rich in texture. Carefully balanced and highly resolved, the project creates a quiet dialogue between old and new while respecting the character of the original building.
