Glebe House
Complimenting materials of concrete, continuous length floor boards and a restrained palette of black aluminium, black steel, stainless steel and oak appear throughout the house and create a cohesive connection between original and new.
These materials were selected, partially, so as not to compete with the ornate patterning of the original house along with their own inherent qualities.
The design is primarily focused on the interconnections of cloistered spaces, created and selected framed openings. The outer concrete elements contrast with the timber elements that further define the various internal zones and functions within the house
The fundamental rationale is to create a family home that recognised the various needs of the occupiers, spaces for children and adults with a flexibility for both retreat and engagement
