Palm House in Victoria, Australia demonstrates how an outdated home from the 1940s can be reimagined to meet contemporary family needs while preserving its history.
Designed by Leeton Pointon Architects + Interiors, the project focused on retaining the original structure to reduce environmental impact and strategically enhance key functional spaces.
The new extension dubbed as a 'garden room' serves as the heart of the home, fostering a seamless indoor-outdoor connection through expansive glazing and a carefully curated landscape.
The design of Palm House prioritizes sustainability through passive design strategies, reuse of existing structures, and integration of renewable energy sources like solar panels and water tanks.
