1950?s Suburban Home in Melbourne with Ingenious Second Floor Extension
Adding a new structure to an old home is always a task that demands both care and precision. One needs to balance aesthetics with ergonomics while ensuring that the old and the new find space next to one another. The same is the case with Ruby, a renovated home in the suburbs of Melbourne that was originally built in the 1950?s by C.C. Sainsbury for assisted veterans. In its new form, the house perfectly meets the demands of a modern family as a new second storey addition transforms the interior with a new kitchen, dining area, kids? bedrooms and study. Yet the revamp carried out by Foomann Architects, perfectly complements the existing old brick and wood structure.Corten second floor extension to 50’s Melbourne homeThe smart second floor is clad in corten sheets with the lower level retaining its brick presence. Large glass windows, skylights and an open design ushers in ample natural light with corridors connecting the rooms in an efficient fashion. On the inside, storage units, shelving and concealed wardrobes maximize space with ease while the old home and the new addition seem to flow effortlessly into one another. A perfect example of modern renovation that pays homage to the old!
