Materials were selected for their tactile quality, luxurious appearance and timeless appeal, with a focus on traditional building materials that are low maintenance and beautiful, complementing the homes adjoining the site.
Handmade bricks from the Petersen Kolumba collection were used on the walls of a contemporary extension to an existing 1860s Victorian guest house located on the cliffs overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
From the street, the house presents as a cubic form, the soft grey brickwork of Petersen Kolumba K11 bricks wrapping from the street front into the house, almost drawing you inside.
The simple, elegant palette of brick, wood and concrete runs consistently and seamlessly from outside to within, embracing the patterns, textures and imperfections of its raw, natural materials.
