Located in West Footscray, Hope House, blends a rich connection to its heritage past with a future-focussed approach its expansion. Emerging as a balanced blend of legacy and lightness, the proposal bridges the gap between the two eras of the home, emphasising a consistency and sense of flow throughout the home in its entirety.

The newly expanded and generous family home draws inspiration from the existing details and crafted elements, extending the overall building form outward into the rear of the site, while still integrating an homage to the past through the new gestures. A holistic approach fosters a continuous refinement of planning and functionality, with integrated flexibility for the spaces to adjust to the changing needs of the owners over time.

As a reflection of the community focus of the area, a warmth is continued from the old into the new, with both scale and light considered as core contributors to the internal quality of the spaces. Together with Kate Patterson Landscape Architects, the natural elements provide a softening buffer to the home, encasing the built edges with animated plantings. Funnelling movement to the rear, a shared living, dining, and kitchen space awaits, intended to facilitate a spill-over into the dedicated outdoor rooms.

As balance of structural formality and more organic shapes, the creation of shared spaces encourages a coming together, emphasising these open spaces as the heart of the contemporary home. While mostly monochromatic, the base palette allows a layering from the owners to bring collected and new artworks, lighting, and furniture into each of the space, and act as a personal representation of who they are. Despite the highly ornate original approach, the new focusses more on quality and longevity, with detail and the concealment of junctions the main point of difference.

With the front rooms remaining as spaces of retreat, utilising the formal sense of separation already created, there is a hierarchy created between the intimate and the open areas, suited to the ebb and flow of everyday life. At its heart, Hope House is about extending a legacy and instilling relevance, and in reinterpreting the existing through a contemporary lens, a refreshing and layered sanctuary is created.

A single storey addition to an Existing interwar weatherboard dwelling. To create a modest family home for my own family. Was a project amongst my own work that we stupidly decided to take on during the lockdowns. Intent was to simply create a 3 bedroom home for a growing young family with a modest living area addition to the rear, along with a seperate studio for myself to work out of. As covid times where uncertian, working from home became a mainstay giving seperation from family was and is pivital ensuring work ethic is maintained. The project gave us the opportunity to explore ways of using existing built form to the advantage of the existing architecture itself.In some circumstances this meant compromises in layout and location of certain elements. Wanted to create a space the was full of light, hardwearing and felt like we where living in our garden. The connection between inside and out was important to the way we live and wanted to live as well as softening the transition between 2 built forms so close together. Which is something you do not see in small – mid inner suburban blocks to often. Takes on the form of the past with an outbuilding Overall, we are left with a modest family home that delivers function and architectural aesthetic. That utilizes all parts of the site and limits waste to landfill.

Designed and constructed by AD, with landscape expertise from KPLA, Hope House overcomes site challenges, ensuring optimal orientation for comfort throughout the day. The gabled home’s silhouette extends towards the rear, creating an open living space surrounded by nature. Kate Patterson Landscape Architects contribute to a garden that blends formality with organic playfulness, introducing dynamic contrast and nuanced personality. The rear gathering space becomes a central hub for activity, while the front rooms transform into tranquil retreats. This balance disconnects from the streetscape, fostering a serene atmosphere. The design embraces a warm palette, blending the home’s history with the new space and highlighting the connection between eras. The interior-exterior connection was pivotal, softening the transition between two closely built forms rarely seen in small to mid inner suburban blocks. Hope House reimagines traditional suburban architecture, demonstrating versatile spaces that can evolve with the family’s changing needs. Strategic placement of the dining area opposite the outdoor fire allows seamless connection to the entertaining space. The outdoor fireplace becomes a visual centerpiece, breaking up the rear form and evolving into a focal point from both inside and outside views.
