MODO (Michael Ong Outline Office) finished the remodel of Passage House, a twofold fronted cabin in Hawthorn, Australia, simply outside Melbourne. The customers, who are ardent nursery workers, needed the home to offer an assortment of outside circumstances.
"Our first approach was to evacuate the ungainly back shelter," the planners said. "Rather than reaching out from the current house, we chose to construct a stand-alone structure and associate the two spaces with a focal path." This made a capable visual differentiation in the middle of old and new.
Another living range was put between the back greenery enclosure and the new patio. This current social zone can be totally opened up to the outside, on account of the extensive sliding glass entryways.
"The idea comprises of four key components: the current front house, the passage, the structure and the voids," the draftsmen said. "Each of these components are intended to be formally seen independently, yet sewed firmly together to work with one another."
Mediation to the first four-room house was kept to a base. The current expansion consolidates a kitchen, wash room, lounge area, family room, lavatory and pantry. The uneven butterfly rooftop, raked roof and high windows draw characteristic light inside the home. [Photography by Subside Bennetts]
