Article source: SG2 design Located on the the outskirts of Melbourne’s CBD, this project in Footscray involved the demolition of rear lean-to structures, to accommodate new living areas with a rear deck and other general improvements. The house lies within a heritage overlay, which ensured we had to respect the existing facades as part of the design process.  Image Courtesy © Van Der Post Photography

A new skillion roof creates a junction between old and new areas, expressed at the apex via a series of clerestory windows located high above.

Proposed additions use the similar materials to those on the existing house, to help marry new areas with old.
