Contemporary alterations & additions to a heritage house in Hawthorn. We haven't shared any photos of this house yet. Looking forward to posting photos when the construction is complete. The image above shows the sunny living room at the back of the house. This space features full height frameless glazing that meets the floating raked ceiling above. The roof separates the old and new in a sophisticated way while letting lots of light in to the contemporary living space. There are some more construction photos on our website: http://www.janeriddellarchitects.com.au/under-construction
It's a pleasure watching this JRA project on site in Hawthorn progress. The above photograph shows the glazing that has just been installed. Actually that is a giant glazed pivot door and it looks amazing! All of the glazing in this project is thermally broken and is a great feature. The photo below was posted on our blog 6 weeks ago.

On-site in Glen Iris; The joinery has now gone in and it looks great. The charcoal is striking and the timber gives the kitchen some warmth. The design features interesting, contemporary ceilings and skylights. We look forward to sharing more of this project.
