Welcome to Little Brick Cottage, a stunning architecturally renovated heritage listed workers’ cottage infused with contemporary design. Lovingly restored from its circa 1857 origins, the two-storey cottage with a private courtyard is located in the heart of South Hobart, with a stunning backdrop of kunanyi / Mt Wellington, and the convenience of Hill Street Grocer next door.
This project exemplifies excellence in design and craftsmanship, counterpointing the restored heritage cottage with a new rear addition on a tight, urban site. The renovation overcame challenges including a dark and damp interior in a poor state of repair, with restricted site access, loading and carpark limitations. The interior detailing is simple, refined, and highly crafted, the light-filled rear addition counterpointing the dark and moody interiors of the existing spaces. This project stands as a testament to careful planning, collaboration, and exceptional craftsmanship by all involved.
Open: Sunday 10 November 2024, 10am – 12:30pm (registration required)
Note: this is a shoe-free household

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
