Located in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Kurunjang is a quiet, open landscape known for its spacious properties and semi-rural character. This project transforms an existing orange brick single-storey home by introducing a bold, modern extension that redefines its identity.

The design features a striking black first-floor addition, adopting a modern barn aesthetic that balances rural charm with contemporary elegance. The contrasting materials—retained brick below and sleek dark cladding above—create a visually dynamic composition. Large windows frame the expansive, flat property, bringing in natural light and enhancing the connection to the surroundings.

This project reimagines the traditional suburban home, offering a sophisticated yet grounded living space that respects its origins while embracing modern design.
