Contemporary House Extension Project in Melbourne, Australia – Mash House by Andrew Maynard Architects

Home » Contemporary House Design » Contemporary House Extension Project in Melbourne, Australia – Mash House by Andrew Maynard Architects

This Victorian house has been successfully remodeled into a warm and funky home design with a little touch of industrial style. Andrew Maynard architects, the one behind the beautiful contemporary residence has designed and described the house into 3 parts, the dwelling level with Victorian style, the extension part presented with the timber clad facade, and the garage.

Heat absorbed during the day is radiated throughout the night, helping maintain a constant and pleasant temperature. Ample double glazing and quality insulation throughout furthers this effect. Another significant consideration was that of the carbon footprint; demolition was proposed only where necessary and specifically to break open the stifling internalization present to the rear of the dwelling.

Internally, radiating from the kitchen, the layering of spaces affords great flexibility. With doors fully open, the living space is transformed into a deck between court and backyard. The flow between spaces is palpable, but not without undulation. Walking from entry to exit, the procession is marked by altering moods. The existing hallway terminates in a fully-operable glass link, allowing light to drown the traditionally under-lit corridor.
