Bozen's Cottage, Oatlands, Tasmania, Australia,

Purchased by new owners in 2017, this small four-room Georgian cottage was in a state of dilapidation and was at risk of ruin. 

Constructed in 1842, the cottage had been in generational ownership for over a century, and retains much of its original fabric.

Through a program of careful restoration and repair, the exterior was reconditioned and a series of judicious erasures of the accumulated layers of building-fabric was made in order to uncover the original Georgian aspirations of the interior.
