Bookings for Open House Melbourne's ticketed tours open this Monday, July 17, so ADR has compiled a list of some of the must-see homes and buildings from this year's ticketed selection.
Including a look at future-proofing with Robert Davidov (director of Davidov Partners Architects), a profile of Iva Foschia of IF Architecture and an investigation into the legacy of bricks, this issue explores what longevity in design is, what quality craftsmanship looks like and how investing in architecture and design can be valuable now and in the years ahead.
The Carlisle Street extension is a foray into a new Australian vernacular. Familiar materials and form are used with a higher consideration to context and passive design to create an extension that is restrained and simple; a volume of space that is light-filled and expansive yet private.
Perched is an extension at the rear of a semi-detached, Edwardian house, a project by Wesley Spencer and Mathilde Polmard. The home sticks to the essentials, embraces light and puts emphasis on a kitchen suitable for a chef.
