Micka Etheridge, director of SPACEbuilt, expanded an 1980s home in Byron Bay for its new owners, Cheryl and James Kitchener. Today, the 2,422-square-foot house resembles a lowercase "h," with one side stretching back to the end of the property. The central living space features sliding glass doors that enable the owners to keep eyes on their young kids wherever they are.
