The Extension To This 1890s Single Fronted Weatherboard Cottage In Hawthorn
The Rhythmic Timber Screen Becomes A Unifying Design Element
That Seamlessly Weaves Together Traditional And Contemporary Architecture
A Delicate Screen Of Vertical Timbers Tempers Light
And Flood The Open Planned Interior With Natural Light.
Melbourne Is An Exercise In Clever Compact Planning
The Extension Preserves The Scale, Materiality And Character
The Traditional Victorian Frontage
View And Privacy To Create The Characteristic ‘veil’ That Encloses The Upper Level Bedroom Suite
Whilst Introducing An Elegant, Two Storey Extension To The Rear.
The Balustrade Screen Visually Animates An Otherwise Muted Interior
Double Height Spaces, Established Above The Staircase And Dining Room Table
Light Wells Distributed Across The Roof Plan Sun Wash Walls
Sensitively Set Within The Historic Shell.
That Extends Into The Interior In The Form Of A Staircase Balustrade.
