we took a dilapidated 110-year old 90sqm heritage villa and created modern family home with privacy, garaging & pool, connecting it to its site and community. Giving way to a garage door, the original villa façade has been maintained in a seamless manner by retaining the weatherboards and joinery, integrating a hinged door for vehicle access. a multi-level sculptural extension to the North, created with brick, timber and steel connects the new with the old tectonically and referentially.
