Silvertop House: A Contemporary Extension in Melbourne
In the heart of Melbourne, Australia, the Silvertop House stands as a testament to the seamless blend of old and new. Designed by Tom Robertson Architects, this contemporary extension of an Edwardian cottage offers a unique living experience for a modern family.
The original façade is preserved, meeting heritage overlay regulations, while a minimalistic addition introduces a fresh perspective. The pitched roof, adorned with silvertop cladding, invites an abundance of natural light, creating a warm and inviting environment. Timber-framed sliding doors extend this natural aesthetic to a lush garden terrace, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. This intelligently crafted home maximizes its compact site, balancing practical and joyful family spaces.
