Melbourne, Australia is where we shall head next to look at a project that involves restoration, demolition, construction and alteration to an existing Edwardian house. The Architects involved have deliberately added transparency and openness to the new part of the house to create a contrast against the Edwardian house with its dark central corridor. The office, Architects Eat was inspired by Farnsworth House, Mies van der Rohe. As the project name entails, the mature Elm and Willow trees on site became the main constraints to the project. The building is suspended over the ground thus reducing damaging the critical root zones of the two trees.
