Heritage Victorian meets bold contemporary extension in Williamstown's treasured heritage precinct.
Working within heritage overlay requirements, the design celebrates contrast over replication. An internal courtyard creates a visual threshold between old and new, drawing natural light deep into the home while allowing each era to stand independently.
The rear gabled extension mirrors the original roofline but establishes striking contrast through charcoal vertical battens and lightweight shiplap cladding. Recycled red brick details create material dialogue between past and present, while high bay windows flood living areas with dappled light.
The outdoor entertaining area with pool becomes the central hub, where recycled brick detailing extends seamlessly and dramatic rooflines add architectural drama. Mancini Made's heritage expertise integrates raked ceilings with intimate Victorian proportions.
