Martin Residence
Nestled in Somerset Street, this little brick cottage in Richmond is undergoing a contemporary extension, currently in town planning. The design respects the original character of the home while introducing a portal window frame that offers a serene view to the outdoors.
The extension also draws from Richmond’s architectural heritage, celebrating its rich history while embracing modern functionality. The use of materials and forms reflect the character of the surrounding streetscape and blends seamlessly with the fabric of the existing property.
Black-metal framed windows of this new extension harmoniously blend with the textured brick of this inner-city cottage home. Their high-quality finish showcase impeccable detailing and craftsmanship.
Full-height double-glazed windows and doors flood the space with natural light, while the sleek fireplace offers a warm, cozy focal point. The pitched ceilings add to the airy feel, creating a perfect balance of modern elegance and cottage charm. Construction is anticipated to commence in late 2025, pending final council approval; bringing this thoughtfully designed extension to life.
