A very special place on the Fleurieu: Mulberry Cottage. Our considered extension and restoration to a much loved heritage cottage, with views to the beach. A gentle dialogue between old and new, with the garden and landscape woven into everyday life.

Extremely honoured to receive two Heritage Awards for our restoration project Mulberry Cottage, alongside our determined and passionate clients, Suzie and Sally.

Originally built in the 1850s, Mulberry Cottage was purchased in 2016 as a dilapidated ruin. Today it stands proudly restored through conservation, restoration and adaptive reuse as a historical farming rural complex. With determination, love for heritage and grit the owners, A-HA Design Studio and Maxwell Built have worked hard to preserve and restore the bluestone homestead, cellar, barn/stable, outhouse, beehive domed well, retain significant trees including the original old Mulberry Tree and complete extensive landscape works.

Mulberry Cottage was formerly known as the cottage at “Wattaburrie” (also known as Wattaberri) and is situated on the land of the Ngarrindjeri/Ramindjeri people.

Congratulations too to all the other entrants and winners, it was humbling to be among so many quality heritage projects and passionate people doing impressive things.

And thank you to Keryn who shared detailed historical knowledge of Mulberry cottage as well as her own rich personal experiences of the homestead.

Mulberry Cottage before and after.
Photo 1. After: An extensive renovation and extension to bring the existing 1850’s cottage back to life.
2. Before: The original homestead had been in ruin for years, unlivable, flooded, falling apart. Built adhoc, over stages with extra rooms jumbled together. These built stages can most clearly be seen by observing the 3 original roof forms. But with a strong vision to save, celebrate and preserve this buildings history, we helped bring the ideas together in a series of cohesive solutions, that make better sense of the ‘layers’ of ‘cluttered’ existing fabric.
