The subject dwelling comprises an asymmetrical façade and central corridor adjoining two rooms either side as typical. Our brief called for the demolition of a poor rear alteration and construction of extensions in its place. The works comprised a renovation of the existing building and new single storey rear additions incorporating pool, cellar and the main living facilities for a young family. An internal brick path, constructed from bricks found on the site formed the junction between old and new and continued from entry, comprising the new work and terminating with a garden outlook.

The inhabitants now enjoy a well zoned home that retains a sense of the intimacy that relates to the scale of the original home. The occupants enjoy natural light, fresh breezes through the habitable spaces and improved recreational conditions including a swimming pool.

Wolveridge Architects. Wolveridge Architects is a Melbourne-based studio of international renown dedicated to creating thoughtful, materially engaging, sustainable and meticulously crafted built projects that tell a unique story. Those that are deeply contextual, borne of place and richly responsive to human behaviour. Our work is rooted in a bespoke, singular approach to realising habitable spaces that mediate between historical methodologies, cultural reference, modern relevance and future-proofed resilience. Each project is a portrait of its inhabitants and environs, infused with a deep understanding of human wellbeing and connection to nature. We believe architecture is about much more than form; it is a sensory experience that engages with materiality, light, texture, and space to evoke comfort, security, and an appreciation for the inherent value in beauty. These are the key tenets of our practice, yielding environments of quiet originality, exacting composition and arresting visual expressions.
