The Gardener's Home designed by Splinter Society brings attention mostly to the homeowner's beautiful garden. The residence is in the suburb of Brunswick East in Melbourne and it uses charming retro elements together with contemporary design. The project brings forth a new addition with an original period silhouette that gets a modern update.
This is elevated by a bold red exterior and the front retains the house's historic elements with the Italianate components and the original masonry. The color selection is what brings it to new eras, bridging the past and present together without altering the foundations of the home. The original structure is preserved and the architects also ensure that sustainability was a large part of the renovation.
