A modern rear addition for an Australian home.

Mel­bourne-based archi­tec­ture and inte­ri­or design stu­dio Splinter Society has shared photos of modern rear addition they recently completed for a home in Australia.

The designers retained the existing floor plan, roofing tiles, gable forms, small brick garage, simple decorative timberwork, and textured renders of the home.

To meet the brief for ‘light-filled, whilst retaining warmth and texture’, a top-lit, double-height entry void was carved from the home’s center, with raked plaster and timber screens filtering light.

A distinctly modern addition was created at the rear of the house, providing open living spaces for the family. The geometry of the roofline as well as the ceramic glazed materiality are a reference to the sloping tile roof of the original building.
