Located in Modernist Caulfield, the original structure was a double-storey, the 1970s, split-level residence in need of reimagining. Referencing the home’s Modernist beginnings while designing a contemporary extension for a growing family was key to the brief but, with the acquisition of the second parcel of land to the south, what began as a single-site, double-storey addition morphed into a double-site, single-level extension. Landscape architects were engaged early in the design phase to ensure an integrated vision for the expanded site.
