Hughesdale Extension: Modernizing a 1920s Clinker Brick Home

Sleek modern structure with expansive glass walls, wooden deck, and landscaped yard.

Block Architecture Studio‘s recent Hughesdale Extension project in Melbourne, Australia, offers a thoughtful renovation to a 1920s red clinker brick dwelling.

The new open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space seamlessly connects to the backyard, while the reconfigured original structure provides additional bedrooms, a master suite, and functional living areas. By carefully preserving the existing fabric, the design balances modern amenities with the home’s historical character, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.
