3 Introduction The Dulwich Hill clients had already sought the expertise of an architect to update their existing home to better accommodate their expanding young family when they learned they were expecting triplets. With the family size set to change dramatically and the budget unable to expand, it became important to optimise the functionality of every square millimetre. To work with the client s budget, the existing house was largely retained, with the rear lean-to s demolished to create a new open-plan kitchen and dining space, and the existing attic space reworked to accommodate two new light-filled bedrooms and bathroom. A bold conceptual approach has been taken to accentuate the bathroom and laundry as a feature to the rear of the home. This configuration enabled everyday laundry tasks to be celebrated rather than banished to a hidden space in the home, an approach that was used throughout the project. Large sliding doors disappear seamlessly into the egg-shaped bathroom and laundry pod, allowing the internal living space to extend outdoors. Concealed retractable flyscreens have been designed to completely screen the kitchen and dining space when the glazed sliding doors are opened. When both sliding doors and retractable flyscreens are completely opened, there is no sign of any doors and the sense of being in a covered outdoor living room is achieved. An extension of the kitchen bench leads to a BBQ area with spotted gum decking and built in seating connecting the living space to the garden and playing area. 4 CplusC Architectural Workshop PEAS IN A POD 5

The space under the stairwell is another example of the innovative thinking and design required to deliver a successful outcome for this project. The under stair space was converted into a retreat along the common circulation space, aptly named the Study Nook. The western red cedar lined nook with concealed LED lighting becomes a place to sit, relax or escape for kids and adults alike. This space is designed to adapt to new functions as the family grows and changes over time. The form and design intent of the Study Nook echoes the design of the laundry and bathroom pod located off the main living area. As evidenced in the design of the bathroom pod and Study Nook, the everyday routine of the family was flipped upside down to create fun, creative spaces. 14 CplusC Architectural Workshop PEAS IN A POD 15
