Bannerman Alterations

The decision was made to treat the additions as bold contrast to the existing villa, in order to celebrate the difference between heritage and contemporary. To that end, materials were chosen for their contrast with the original bevel back weatherboards. Stained vertical cedar cladding sits against exposed shuttered concrete chimneys, steel posts, and black aluminium joinery. Internally, aspects of the villa are continued through and evolved, with high ceilings adjoining a pop-up roof over the kitchen, and a gently raking ceiling over the living space.
