A Modern House Renovation Designed to Create a Private Oasis For Its Owners (House Tour)

#Architectural #ModernHome #InteriorDesign
Rowena Parade House is a modern house renovation, exploring the intersections between older heritage homes and modern, newer additions. With the intent to craft a sanctuary, or a private oasis, Technē has made considered, purposeful architectural design choices when integrating the older sections of the home with the new; the structure blurs the boundaries between each in order to create a modern and harmonious merging of forms.

Located in Richmond, in the inner city of Melbourne, Rowena Parade House is composed of a red brick heritage half, contrasting against a sleeker and modern house renovation. The architecture balances the two contrasting halves, working to create a warm and comfortable environment. As a modern house renovation, Rowena Parade House celebrates its original red brick structure. The dream home, as a modern house renovation, respects the original and authentic heritage architecture, where contemporary elements have been featured within the interior design, joinery and details. The joinery was treated as elevated furniture – hero pieces, such as the stone kitchen bench, shine throughout design. Inside, combinations of materials are used to celebrate the continual theme of blending – brick walls, a concrete floor, a timber ceiling, veneer and stone joinery.
