Flynn Matthews Accomplished by St Kilda primarily based design studio OOF! architecture Acute Home is one thing actually particular! “Acute Home is the transformation of a ‘renovator’s nightmare’ right into a compact 21st-century household residence. The extreme limitations of a tiny, very triangular website and the demanding heritage context have resulted in a sharp new wedge of a home that’s designed to use its issues. The unique, and intensely decrepit, Victorian weatherboard cottage had turned out to be unattainable to inhabit however was effectively beloved by the neighborhood in addition to its new homeowners. We tried to retain its weathered character by reusing as a lot of unique cloth as doable from warped weatherboards and fence palings to random accumulations resembling door knobs, vents, and avenue numbers. Like fragile museum artifacts, these had been rigorously eliminated, labeled, saved and reinstalled of their unique location on a brand new mount that not solely highlights their charms in contrast, however, permits the home to reside once more in a brand new means.”
This is beautiful.
