Melbourne’s western-suburban interpretation of Art Deco lacks the grandeur of the era, but still offers plenty of charm. This project celebrates that character and leans in to opportunities offered when extending a house with a strong personality. Our client had explored other design options prior to our engagement and approached us with her mind made up; the extension had to feel like it had always been there. The existing cascading gable form was grasped upon as a strong foundation for the new.
