Heritage Modern House / Rama Architects

The project is an Alterations and Additions to an existing Art Deco Heritage House on Sydney's Northern Beaches for a young and growing family. This 5-bed home looked to celebrate the honest red brick vernacular from an external point of view and modernize and open the inside through void spaces, large windows, and expressed structure to allow an open and flowing living, connecting to the rear. The goal was to create a sense of harmony with the existing, yet a distinction of the new from the old. This was achieved through embracing the brick facades in their material and scale yet differentiating through color and form.
