Architecture firm Sans-Arc Studio, have designed an art-deco inspired house addition in Adelaide, Australia, for a young couple who wanted it to be fun, curvy, colorful, and full of light.

The house addition features black-lined deep window reveals, providing shade for the interior spaces, and adding a touch of drama to the white facade.

The new kitchen provides the home owners with a space to entertain friends and family.



The original cottage already housed a good sized dining room, which was integrated into the addition by running a singular kitchen island/dining table through the two spaces, with new dining area dropping down from the kitchen island.

A wood shelving unit runs alongside the dining area, and provides a place for the home owners’ collection of unique Italian and Czech glassware, books, and German Pottery.
