Hawthorn, VIC

Contemporary Extension within Heritage Overlay

Architecture + Interior Design by Jake Barrow

Design Development Stage

This heritage listed property is to be sensitively modernised. The outdated floor plan is to be inventively reconfigured to bring it up-to-speed with the requirements of 21st century family life. 

 

A manicured and authentic refurbishment at the front of the property will open up onto a luxurious, light filled, contemporary extension with breathtaking kitchen and a free flowing outdoor entertaining area. 

Materials have been carefully considered providing a seamless transition between new and old. The result is a modern lifestyle enhancing family home in a beautiful, truly respected, heritage setting.

Templestowe Lower

New Build Residence in Templestowe Lower

Designed by Jake Barrow for Luxury Living Melbourne

Completed 2020

A sophisticated, fully customised family focused home sculpted into its challenging corner block. Capitalising on a difficult gradient the design cuts into the slope, creating a luxurious semi-basement and elevating the living spaces to unlock the land to the upper level and create an open plan, pool focused courtyard with free flowing indoor/outdoor alfresco.  

The modern black brick lower facade frames the home and allows it to nestle into the block, incorporating the pool. The cool grey, upper facade is given a timeless elegance through matte black detailing. The home centers upon its impressive, light filled, double height entry space.
