A Modern Language Was Adapted To Traditional Materials And Forms For This House

A modern rear addition for an Australian home.

Mel­bourne-based archi­tec­ture and inte­ri­or design stu­dio Splinter Society has shared photos of modern rear addition they recently completed for a home in Australia.

The designers retained the existing floor plan, roofing tiles, gable forms, small brick garage, simple decorative timberwork, and textured renders of the home.

To meet the brief for ‘light-filled, whilst retaining warmth and texture’, a top-lit, double-height entry void was carved from the home’s center, with raked plaster and timber screens filtering light.

The original gabled garage is retained and re-purposed as kitchen, providing important links to the historical form and layout of these homes.

A distinctly modern addition was created at the rear of the house, providing open living spaces for the family. The geometry of the roofline as well as the ceramic glazed materiality are a reference to the sloping tile roof of the original building.

The classic arch detailing around the entry door is mirrored in a modern counterpart where the glazed opening is framed by an arched cut-out, which can be enjoyed from the living room.
