Whether it’s visiting family members, friends staying over after a party or kids hanging out for a sleepover, a sofa bed is flexible piece of furniture that can be called on whenever the need arises.

The red front gate gives a clue that all is not what it first seems in this traditional home, set in a heritage conservation area in Sydney’s Inner West. As you travel up the long, herringbone-paved limestone path, past the blooming foxgloves in the front garden, then through the richly coloured Arent&Pyke-designed interiors, a modern extension by Carter Williamson Architects reveals itself, along with a back garden and pool that feel distinctly contemporary.

The term ‘secondary dwelling’ doesn’t exactly elicit excitement, but this 49-square-metre build is anything but boring. Designed to fulfil many functions – pool house, home office, guest room, party pad – it’s fully self-contained with a vibrant blue-hued bathroom, compact kitchen and fold-down bed. With full-width sliding doors opening to a paved area and steps up to a lush garden and pool, it feels light years away from a poky granny flat.

Here's the puzzle: two large camphor laurel trees, a number of mature golden cane palms, a sloping lawn, a too-small entertaining area, and a busy family with four kids. Homeowner Courtenay and her husband had moved in over a decade ago with two small children, but their family had expanded and they wanted to spend more time at home. A pool was at the top of their list, along with improving the usability of the garden to allow for more friends and fun.
