Rear and side extension to a weatherboard home in Kinglake

We added a rear and side extension to this weatherboard home in Kinglake, with architecture that deliberately contrasts with the original house.

Outside, bold black Colorbond sets the new work apart. Inside, raked ceilings and clear sealed plywood panelling across the walls and ceilings give the new living space warmth and character. The polished concrete floor continues the floor treatment through the whole house, so old and new connect underfoot.

Kinglake is bushfire country, and the extension was built to BAL 29 under AS 3959.
