Type
YEAR
2004
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
This
project involved alterations and additions to an existing Victorian house in
Armadale that had been renovated in the late 1980s. The scope of work included
a complete refurbishment of the existing Victorian House and a new upper level
extension separated into two private zones for parents and children.
An
alterations and additions project to an existing Victorian house in Armadale
that had been renovated in the late 1980s. The client brief called for a new
second floor addition comprising of five bedrooms and associated bathrooms. An
extension of this requirement was to reconfigure the ground floor living,
dining and kitchen areas. A critical factor in the reorganisation of these
spaces was to consider how the proposed alterations and additions could engage
with a large external garden.
The
original Victorian “U” shaped plan configuration was rediscovered and reinforced
by a first floor addition that followed the outline of the perimeter walls
below. As a gesture towards connecting the house to the garden and vice-versa,
the two outer bedroom wings of the upper floor addition cantilevered beyond the
ground floor to engage with the landscape.
To
further reinforce this gesture at the ground floor level a large deck area
projected into the garden. This provided a new “outdoor” living space defined
by a stone wall and fireplace – an undercroft beneath the first floor
cantilevered bedroom wing.
The
definition of the once Victorian house is maintained as a rendered masonry
construction type with “punched’ openings framing views to the courtyard and
garden beyond.
The first
floor addition is a lightweight timber framed construction type with vertical
cedar shiplap boards as cladding. The lightweight timber material and
construction type provides a strong contrast to the masonry walls below. A
black painted parallel flange channel separates the two materials as a
shadowline and accentuates the cantilever of the first floor bedroom wings
either on side of the courtyard.
The first
floor window openings of the new works alternate between a lower and higher
position, one scaled for adults and one for children activating the corridor
space.
In summary the
alterations and additions to the existing house make a positive contribution by
engaging with the greater garden space in a new and positive way
