A Sympathetic Renovation + Extension Of A Modernist Caulfield Home

The renovation and subsequent extension of this split stage Caulfield property by Kister Architects is a masterclass in balance. 

‘The clientele asked for one thing exciting but modest, vibrant with loads of texture, but nominal with a sense of sparseness,’ claims Ilana Kister of Kister Architects.

They have been also established on spending homage to the home’s 70s roots, by sustaining the style of the facade and the interior’s retro vibes, but eager to insert a up to date component. 

The challenge began as a solitary web site, double storey renovation, but morphed into a double site renovation with a one storey addition when the clients obtained a 2nd parcel of land on the adjacent block (on the southern aspect). The 70s break up-amount northern dwelling was retained, even though the home on the southern block was demolished to make way for a sympathetic contemporary extension. 

‘The spotlight of the venture was the limitless prospects revealed after the internet site doubled in dimension,’ claims Ilana. 

Stretching the property on to the adjacent southern internet site permitted the architects  to re-consider how they were going to deliver gentle into the new spaces, and how to integrate mother nature and landscape into the residence. 

‘Our principal worry was to sustain a constant link to nature and light,’ points out Ilana. Thus, the household was made about courtyard pockets, which frame sights to the backyard and ‘interesting in-between’ areas. The sprawling backyard and growing abundance of plants are noticeable from virtually every area in the household, though sky lights have been strategically placed to minimise the have to have for synthetic lights. 

To hark back again to its 70s modernist beginnings, the architects utilised components these kinds of as bronze hardware, glazing and aluminum, white aggregated concrete with blue plush and white felted carpet together with orange velvet and heat timber veneers. 

‘These are offset with a layered range of concrete render, glazed Japanese tiles, black veneer and gold wallpaper to blue the retro with a nuanced present-day palette,’ explains Ilana. 

The mixture of these two unique, but complementary, palettes help to blur the line between the similarly distinctive retro and present-day sections of the property, tying previous and new together. 

‘The style and design and advancement of this has introduced an old, weary property into a lovely up to date haven, that embeds the loved ones into their landscape,’ says Ilana.
