1938 clinker-brick home in Hampton

Rather than knocking down the original 1938 clinker-brick home located in Hampton which was one proposition floated by the client. The architects Kennedy Nolan architects dextrously reconfigured the flow and function of the old rooms and tied the whole project together with Victorian ash paneling, cupboards, beams and flooring of a grey-stained travertine . The project aim was to avoid the very common scenario of a single room open plan addition opting for separate living zones. The home draws on the 1970’s modernist aesthetic which exudes hipness with the new addition comprising of white painted textured brickwork, large volumes of glass and timber beams. Almost nothing from the new extension is visible from the street with the original build fusing with the new. I have so much love for this house!
