B O X • @australian_architecture York Street by @jcbarchitects⠀ St Kilda West, VIC⠀ -⠀⠀⠀ From the Architect: The project reflects a joyful take on the classic “box on the back” renovation. Its design embraces a nimble and sensitive response to a heritage context, while also meeting the specific needs of the client in creating a space that is a pleasure to live in. Transforming a previously dark and minimally ventilated house, the design breaks open the segregated floorplan (typical of this typology), to provide an engaging sequence of interlinked, yet not quite open-plan spaces, each with its own character to create a quiet haven - a suburban sanctuary. ⠀ An existing heritage building is transformed through the introduction of a modern, two-storey addition that playfully re-interprets the distinctive geometry of the original dwelling through a contemporary lens. Capturing abundant natural light and garden aspects, the new addition employs a refined and subtle palette of brick, steel and timber. ⠀ -⠀ www.jcba.com.au⠀ #jcbarchitects⠀ -⠀ Photographer: @derek_swalwell⠀ Builder: @belairbuilders⠀ Structural: Meyer Consulting⠀ Landscaping: @eckersleygardenarchitecture⠀ -⠀⠀⠀ #australianarchitecture #architecture #australiandesign #design #housedesign #moderndesign #interiors #houseporn #architectureporn #inspo #interiorsinspo #archdaily #dezeen #houseinspo #houseoftheday #archiporn #househunter #interiordesign #brickhouse #brickwork #melbourne #melbournearchitecture #melbournehouse #stkilda #stkildawest #brickscreen #courtyard #landscapearchitecture #pool https://www.instagram.com/p/B242tDAHhhs/?igshid=puw8x1rnj51i
