A Princes Hill red-brick Victorian home is renovated by BENT Architecture to replace a dark 1970s rear extension with a light-filled rear addition that opens onto the garden, preserves the original façade under a heritage overlay, reconfigures the interior into an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, and repurposes a rear outbuilding as a studio with ensuite, while timber walls and ceilings blur the line between inside and out.
The Zarcillo Residence, located on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, is a weekend house and periodic stay designed by architect Agustin Rocha. The project is made up of four blocks that suggest the separation of private and social spaces, with a walker connecting them. The blocks are oriented towards the ravine and vineyard, and the project is materially made up mainly of red brick obtained from the nearby area. The design respects the existing vegetation, mostly sweet stick trees and medium-sized cactus pear, and allows for views towards the ravine and vineyard.
