Weather House is a bespoke home for a young, nature-loving family on a quintessentially compact Northcote block. Our clients Claire and Brent cherished the character of their century-old worker's cottage but required more considered space and flexibility in their home. Claire and Brent are camping enthusiasts, and in response their house is a love letter to the outdoors: a rich, durable environment infused with the grounded ambience of being in nature. From the street, the dark cladding of the sensitive rear extension echoes the existing cottage!s roofline, becoming a subtle shadow of the original house in both form and tone. As you move through the home, the double-height extension invites the climate and native landscaping inside at every turn. The light-bathed lounge, dining room and kitchen are anchored around, and seamlessly connected to, a versatile outdoor living area. A double-sided fireplace embedded into the house’s rear wall brings warmth and ambience to the lounge, and inspires a campfire atmosphere in the back yard. Championing tactility and durability, the material palette features polished concrete floors, blackbutt timber joinery and concrete brick walls. Peach and sage tones are employed as accents throughout the lower level, and amplified upstairs where sage forms the tonal base for the moody main bedroom. An adjacent private deck creates an additional tether to the outdoors, and houses planters and trellises that will decorate the home’s exterior with greenery. From the tactile and textured finishes of the interior to the surrounding Australian native garden that you just want to touch, the house encapsulates the feeling of being part of the outdoors; like Claire and Brent are camping at home. It is a tribute to Mother Nature, Weather House’s muse.

Pensée pour une famille attachée au charme d’origine, la rénovation imaginée par Maxime De Campenaere Studio allie authenticité et modernité. L’aménagement intérieur semble avoir toujours appartenu à la maison, tant les matériaux et les volumes dialoguent harmonieusement avec l’architecture existante. Les pièces de vie sont unifiées par un sol en pierre naturelle sombre, apportant profondeur et raffinement. Cette toile de fond met en valeur une cuisine en noyer, sublimée par des plans de travail en multiplex stratifié noir et bleu pâle, dans un esprit fidèle à l’esthétique d’époque. L’îlot central, intelligemment conçu autour d’une colonne existante, s’intègre dans un plan ouvert et fluide, laissant la cheminée suspendue en acier noirci devenir un point focal visible depuis chaque angle.

The kitchen sits at the center of the house with access directly to outside dining and the the family room. The island bench features a solid marble slab and organically shaped timber cabinetwork. Timber ceilings conceal acoustic insulation.

Vue d'un autre angle, on peut apercevoir la véranda qui prolonge la pièce. Ici, on pense garder le sol ainsi que les poutres au plafond, par contre, tout le papier part... Qu'il soit au mur ou au plafond d'ailleurs (ça fait bizarre de dire ça...)
