Harold Street Residence

The clients really wanted the extension to this very typical inner-urban house in Melbourne to be timeless. No tricks, no gimmicks, just a great renovation that will never grow old. As a result Nest Architects used simple materials that never seem to go out of fashion, white painted bricks, timber floorboards and a beautiful timber lined ceiling.

The look of the new addition at the rear of the house has a slightly 1970’s feel about it due to the very heavy brick corners. The heaviness of the rear facade is then broken down slightly with the use of timber lining boards that act as both seats and eaves and clear glazing which links the house to it’s backyard.

This contemporary reinstatement of the iconic Victorian tourist destination is bookended by a refined architecture that seeks to respond to the State Park setting, while providing a clear destination point. Both the Lower and Upper Stations have strong rectilinear forms and a minimal material pallet.
