Megowan Architectural has recently completed a pleated extension to a single-storey house in Melbourne, Australia.
Here’s a look at the front of the house…

A folded roof form and charred cypress clad extension was added to the rear of the property, while a large box gutter separates old from new and keeps untidy spouting out of sight and out of mind.

Large sliding doors and folding windows connect the new interior spaces, like the kitchen, living room, and dining room with the backyard.

The central valley of the roof form was centered on the existing entry to the home, while the plated roof design allows for clerestory windows to assist in lighting the interior living spaces.

The project also included the updating of a bathroom, which was kept simple with the use of a neutral color palette and natural materials.
