The house
Keep the shack. Add the room it needed.
The owners loved the old shack and so did we. Rather than replace it, we repaired it and built a new wing beside it, with its own roof, so the old house still reads as itself.
The new kitchen is built around a thick benchtop of recycled jarrah, against a wall of sawn limestone.
