Rowan Opat of Opat Architects designed a new holiday house for his clients in regional Victoria that is considerate of its surrounds.
This two-storey family home uses the existing dwelling, adding to it with a 'new build' at the rear, which frames the original fabric.
In making this project, we were as much thinking about its suburban landscape as the building itself. We aimed to create the early beginnings of a meadow and a field that stitch into the suburban terrain and to make a building that belongs.
When Davidov Partners Architects were briefed on a new home for some soon-to-be empty nesters, they designed an open-plan master bedroom that takes cues from a hotel suite.
