A refined balance between heritage and contemporary design, the Port Melbourne Residence reimagines a 1940s Commission Housing home through a modern first-floor extension. Clean horizontal lines and a raw material palette create a striking contrast to the original structure, while a raised landscape planter softens the form with layers of greenery and texture.

Inside and out, the design emphasizes proportion, restraint, and connection to context. The extension sits lightly above the heritage roofline, integrating seamlessly through considered detailing and a sensitive architectural response.

An outdoor pool and feature canopy form the heart of the new addition—an inviting space for relaxation and social gatherings that blends form, function, and landscape. The result is a thoughtful dialogue between past and present, where timeless heritage meets contemporary refinement.
