This gem of a house was built in the 1950s, when its neighborhood undoubtedly felt remote. The university footprint has expanded in the 70 years since, however, and today this home sits on prime real estate—easy biking and reasonable walking distance to campus. When it went up for sale in 2017, it was largely unaltered. Our clients purchased it to renovate and resell, and while we all knew we'd need to add square footage to make it profitable, we also wanted to respect the neighborhood and the house’s own history. Swedes have a word that means “just the right amount”: lagom. It is a guiding philosophy for us at SYH, and especially applied in this renovation. Part of the soul of this house was about living in just the right amount of space. Super sizing wasn’t a thing in 1950s America. So, the solution emerged: keep the original rectangle, but add an L off the back. With no owner to design with and for, SYH created a layout to appeal to the masses. All public spaces are the back of the home--the new addition that extends into the property’s expansive backyard. A den and four smallish bedrooms are atypically located in the front of the house, in the original 1500 square feet. Lagom is behind that choice: conserve space in the rooms where you spend most of your time with your eyes shut. Put money and square footage toward the spaces in which you mostly have your eyes open. In the studio, we started calling this project the Mullet Ranch—business up front, party in the back. The front has a sleek but quiet effect, mimicking its original low-profile architecture street-side. It’s very Hoosier of us to keep appearances modest, we think. But get around to the back, and surprise! lofted ceilings and walls of windows. Gorgeous.

Set on a steep & bushy site in the heights of Coonan’s Hill, Pascoe Vale South, our clients are bidding farewell to their tired sprawling suburban home to pursue a new and more environmentally considerate home within a smaller footprint. In the existing single storey home to date, city views have only been apparent from the occasional risqué ladder venture. A key part of our client’s brief was to bring this cityscape into their daily lives, where the fundamentals of eat, sleep & play can all be enjoyed from the first floor. Our clients, a young couple and their two beloved pooches, have a love for raw materials expressed in their truest form. With sustainable design integral to the brief, our clients “must-haves” include; on-site energy storage and provision for their future electric car. Key to our approach has also been to design a robust & low maintenance home. The home itself will be nestled in the centre of the site, with vast garden views to either side. Two robust and gently curving masonry structures occupy the ground plane, bridged together by a minimal first floor volume. This approach was adopted to free up the ground plane and to pay tribute to the established and emerging garden. Working alongside Amanda Oliver Gardens, the approach to architecture and landscape has been a holistic exercise. To the north, views of the terraced native garden are embraced, and to which a landscaped webforge bridge connects the first floor living to the upper garden plateau. City views towards the south are framed by elevated tree canopies, which softens the interface to the street.
