This project is the recipient of a 2016 AIA Victoria Chapter award for the Residential Alteration and Addition category.
Our client’s bought a lovely old Edwardian house built in the mid to late 1800’s. The house was in ok shape, but needed a lot of work to try and get it back to it’s former glory.
So in addition to our new work at the rear of the house (kitchen/living/dining, new bedroom, laundry and bathroom) an enormous amount of work was done to the existing house. The result of this work was to create a house where the distinction between new and old is blurred. Both clients have remarked how the entire house feels as though it was always there, as opposed to feeling like an old house with a new extension.
The materiality used throughout the project is an attempt to make a bridge between ‘slick / minimal’ and ‘craft / handmade’ styles, which in turn is a direct attempt to reflect the personalities of our clients. The site features an interesting anomaly to the north, where an existing pool was removed to allow for a new double storey timber clad building which houses a cellar below and an art studio above. Landscaping features bold geometric shapes and beautiful stepping stones that helps to situate the house within the garden.
