The renovation of this heritage home honours the historical significance of the frontage, while the existing back extension built in the early nineties will be replaced by a minimal palette of contemporary materials and designs.
The extension spans three levels, a display of modern resplendence with open spaces, simple geometric shapes, and an abundance of light. The lift shaft connecting the basement to the upper three levels is a feature of the design, along with the private lookout nook on the second storey with an unobstructed view of Melbourne city. The imposing nature of the bold structure is eased by green walls and glass panels, reflecting sunlight by day, and glowing internally at night.
The rear garden houses a pool, gym, pool pavilion, and a tennis court: a collection of spaces linked through access and aesthetic design. Jack Merlo’s landscape design for the front garden compliments the existing heritage house, while cleverly plays with the new, bold volumes around the pool and spa area.
Beneath the old house, the existing wine cellar connects with a basement suitable to house eight cars, a home theatre, a bar, and an entertainment space for social gatherings.
The architectural opposites in this program compliment via contrast, showcasing their differences: old and new, stone and glass, classic and contemporary. Visual overlap occurs in the bluestone wall cladding, mirrored in the blue stone foundations visible from ground level in the existing façade, evidence that the heritage listing is respected with this contemporary design.
