Give New Life in a Contemporary Context

Vader House by Andrew Maynard Architects
Melbourne, Australia

This geometric, open-air home is an extension on a Victorian terrace, resting privately around an enclosed patio just steps away from the busy city streets.

The restored house maintains the old brick perimeter, providing an old city charm to this decidedly modern construction.  The upper level under the angular ceiling provides a quiet space for personal relaxation, while the lower level kitchen and living room opens into the patio and spa just steps away.

While not much space was needed for the architect to complete this work, he has succeeded in giving an old building new life in a contemporary context.

Looking for windows and door systems with large glass surfaces that reflect your individuality and on the same time have highest technology standard! Or are you looking for zipscreens that can be mounted on your windows and doors over a surface of up to 6 meters in one element only!

Elements of History Integrated in Modernity

A renovation that brings a whole new light into a house
Auckland, New Zealand

Why make new when you can improve what’s already there? That’s very often the question that comes to mind.

If new projects can let the imagination run wild, the element of history that lies in old stones can be missed by some people. And keeping this element of history doesn’t mean that you can’t have a very modern home.

Proof is in the Winsomere Crescent House renovation by Dorrington Architects & Associates. Here the contemporary elements incorporate the already existing house and maximize the stunning view over the sea.

This way, some beautiful vintage finishes, like the original Art Deco bathroom, are still part of the house, while a new zinc-clad extension contains the new living space and a large window with a a fantastic view.

Its singular shape brings a second youth to the original house as well as a perfect balance. The result is outstanding!
