James Street residence, Richmond VIC by @b.e_architecture via @australian_architecture // From the Architect "Each component creates its own distinct vernacular. The original building enhances the characteristics intrinsic to the workers cottage referencing decorative details, use of timber externally and internally, horizontality and a historic grey tone. In contrast, the new extension is a sculptural form using an architectural language of metal and mirrored glass expressed verticality with crisp detail. The two are connected by a glazed link which creates a clear visual separation from the street emphasising which is from the past and which is from the present" ? @peterclarkephoto ⠀
