Designed by A for Architecture, the new addition holds the open living area, family zones, kitchen and dining space of the house.Gorgeous wood, brick and glass extension of the classic Melbourne homeAs is the case with most heritage homes, it is the rear addition that comes to the rescue here, extending the living area even while leaving the two bedrooms at the front of the house largely untouched.
