When a House Becomes Inside Out | Cut Paw Paw

ByMyProperty Life

In Seddon, Victoria, Australia, a simple timber weatherboard house is re-imagined as a radical inside-out residence: Cut Paw Paw. On a 506 square-meter site, the transformation marries historic charm with bold modernity—an exposed steel frame, vast glass walls, a garden courtyard, and a white roof to cut urban heat. With sliding doors, bi-fold panels and decks, the home blurs the line between inside and out. Solar panels, double-glazed windows and passive design strategies ensure it’s not just visually daring, but environmentally smart. Cut Paw Paw challenges the conventions of renovation and shows how architecture can re-use, reveal and renew.
