Category Residential Year 2012 State Victoria City Blairgowrie Photographer Ben Hosking The preparation of this concept required a full review of the existing dwelling and how it related to the site. The site analysis revealed a requirement for a large increase in floor area – 3 new bedrooms, kids' play area, bathrooms, large garage and entry could take place in front of the existing dwelling. With the consent of the planning authority, approval was granted to bring the facade forward. The introduction of the central courtyard and the conceptual adoption of this by the client enabled a practical separation of the kid’s bedrooms/bathroom areas, general living and the upstairs master bedroom. The existing palette of dark stained western red cedar cladding, anodised aluminium window frames were carried through in the new work, yet the block type form established from bringing the front of the dwelling forward and its western orientation influenced a design decision to create a complex series of openings in this facade.

“I cannot recommend Wolveridge Architects highly enough. Fully alive to the brief from the outset, Jerry worked collaboratively to present us with ideas that took us way beyond our original imaginings. Working within the tight constraints of both limited space and a heritage protected house, Jerry delivered a seamless melding of both old and new that magically accentuates the best of both. The overall design is masterful. The in situ concrete table is, quite simply, incredible and a genius response to our very first discussion. The small details - a floating concrete step; an exposed, internal section of nineteenth century brickwork (to name but two of many) are testament to the considered and inspired thinking. The project was managed brilliantly by Brett and the rest of the team and executed with minimal fuss and to the highest standards. Every question and concern was responded to thoughtfully and with an eye on the budget. The result is stunning. it is a beautiful space to live in. It is a beautiful home.”
