The Cosham Street House by Martin Friedrich Architects

Martin Friedrich Architects have renovated a house originally built in the 1930s (and renovated in the 1980s) in Brighton, Australia, and transformed it into a modern house with clean lines, for a young family with 3 children, that wanted a playful and fun house, and that would reflect their personality, active lifestyle and love of entertaining.

A striking facade features a 2 story curved section made from concrete that was cast in place. This section frames the existing outline of the building and gives a projection for the balcony and entry canopy below. The facade also has a double story full height glazing and a 2-story band of black Japanese oak that contrasts the minimalist white render exterior.
